Can this plate represent not only 100 years' worth of dinner time stories but also one of a famous family, too? You bet! Made in England, between 1910-1936, by John Maddock & Sons, this antique dinner plate features the soft pine green Hamilton pattern. First designed in the late 1890s, JM & S made several versions of the Hamilton pattern - two in green and one in blue. The green patterns were distinguishable by a lacy medallion center in one version and a plain center in another. is unclear as to what the connection was between King George and the dishware industry, so we are not exactly sure why King George's initials would have been included, but we do have some plausible ideas. This stamp could have been an identification mark intended for pieces that were headed out of the country for export, or it could have been a patriotic mark signifying the reign of an admired King who valued family, strong morals, a quiet life, and the role of mediation over one-sided decision making when it came to government, or it could have been some sort organizational mark within the pottery designating not only the years in which it was made, but also its intended destination. Either way, it is a fun piece of history hidden on the backside of them.

In a lovely aged condition, there are a few age spots on the back and a small chip that can only be seen from the back. This antique plate has lots of character. Pretty for food photography, creative storytelling, and stylish display, its authentic appearance will add a stunning bit of history to your space.
