It has a broad, shallow serving form with a softly scalloped edge and subtle moulded lines radiating across the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUnlike a conventional dinner plate, this piece has no pronounced raised tableware rim. It was intended primarily as a decorative cake, gateau or serving plate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design features a large central arrangement of English garden and wild flowers, surrounded by coordinating floral garlands. The decoration includes pansies, rosebuds, pinks, blue flowers, thistle-like blooms and delicate foliage in shades of pink, red, lilac, blue, yellow and green.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA fine gold-coloured line follows the scalloped outer edge and complements the pastel botanical decoration.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underside carries a black printed Aynsley crown backstamp reading “Est. 1775, Aynsley, Wild Tudor, Fine Bone China, Made in England.” The backstamp identifies the maker, pattern, material and English manufacture but does not provide an exact production year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Wild Tudor pattern was produced from approximately 1991 to 2001. This dates the plate to the 1990s or around the turn of the millennium, making it approximately 25–35 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt would be ideal for serving cakes, pastries, biscuits, sandwiches, desserts or afternoon-tea treats. Its detailed floral decoration also makes it suitable for display on a plate stand, dresser, mantelpiece or kitchen shelf.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe substantial size and recognised Wild Tudor pattern give it appeal for collectors of Aynsley china and vintage English floral tableware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nItem Details\u003cbr\u003e\nMaker: Aynsley\u003cbr\u003e\nPattern: Wild Tudor\u003cbr\u003e\nExact specialist or catalogued description: 10½-inch Cake Plate\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecialist piece code: CA\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternative useful description: Gateau plate, floral serving platter, Crocus-style cake plate or decorative display plate\u003cbr\u003e\nItem type: Large cake and serving plate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Fine bone china\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of manufacture: England\u003cbr\u003e\nPattern production period: Approximately 1991–2001\u003cbr\u003e\nEstimated era of the individual piece: 1990s to approximately 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nExact date: Not known\u003cbr\u003e\nShape: Broad round serving plate with a softly scalloped edge\u003cbr\u003e\nRim style: No pronounced raised dinnerware rim\u003cbr\u003e\nSurface detail: Subtle moulded lines radiating across the plate\u003cbr\u003e\nDecoration: Large central English garden and wildflower arrangement\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditional decoration: Coordinating floral garlands positioned around the outer section\u003cbr\u003e\nFloral details: Pansies, rosebuds, pinks, thistle-like flowers, small blue blossoms and green foliage\u003cbr\u003e\nColours: Pink, red, lilac, blue, yellow and green on a white ground\u003cbr\u003e\nGold or other trim: Fine gold-coloured edging around the scalloped outer rim\u003cbr\u003e\nBackstamp: Black Aynsley crown backstamp reading “Wild Tudor, Fine Bone China, Made in England”\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal sticker or foil label: None visible\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate diameter: 10¼–10½ inches\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate width: 10¼–10½ inches\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate depth from front to back: 10¼–10½ inches\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate height: ¾–1 inch\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate foot-ring diameter: 7–7¼ inches\u003cbr\u003e\nSuggested uses: Cake plate, gateau plate, sandwich platter, pastry server, dessert plate, afternoon-tea display or decorative plate-stand display\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGood vintage condition overall.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNo obvious chips, cracks or repairs can be seen in the supplied photographs.
