    We are, at present, offering 40 plates (of which ten are marginally smaller), two large oval platters, a smaller oval platter, a fish platter, four tureens and, four tazzas and a lobed bowl.  The thirty larger plates divided into groups of ten: birds, fish and flowers, and the marginally smaller plates have mixed decoration.

    One of the two smallest tureens has a repair to one side and the second to the handles, and some of the blue ‘feathering’ around a few of the plates has been touched in.
