So rare to find a set of eight of these Antique Set 8 Flow Blue Floral and Gilt Plates, Made by Ridgways, founded in 1866 in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England. These were made in the late 1800's, very early 1900's according to their crowned mark. {I almost never never find sets of 8 of any pattern!}
Elegant scalloped edges have hand applied gilt, the gorgeous cobalt blue floral design rims are lovely. These are from a collector and are in amazing condition. A delight to mix with your other dinner service plates, their large size is another huge plus as many flow blue plates from this time were quite a bit smaller. Gorgeous.
