This 19th-century porcelain plate, part of a larger service, was produced by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory. The plate features a simple, elegant design with a delicate, swirling border in silver, a stylistic choice popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The plate, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring appeal of English porcelain during this period, known for its intricate designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The use of silver accents adds a touch of luxury and refinement, making the plate a desirable piece for collectors of decorative arts.
