Its green beaded swags and laurel drops still look wonderfully poised against the white ground, while a gold Greek Key border brings all the formality of an early-20th-century table. Preserving a piece with honest signs of life feels far more interesting than pretending it spent a century untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Shelley in Longton, Staffordshire, this shallow soup or dessert plate bears the green Shelley China shield backstamp and hand-painted pattern number 10419, dating it to circa 1919–1925. A considered addition to an early Shelley collection, plate wall or a cabinet display, it rewards a close look at both its refined decoration and its history of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Shelley Potteries Ltd., England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern number: 10419, hand-painted on the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Circa 1919–1925\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Shallow rimmed soup or dessert plate with wide brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecoration: Green beaded swags, laurel drops and fan motifs with gold Greek Key outer border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 23 cm diameter × 2.7 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 367 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Fine bone china\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition.
