ifferent bird images on Ivory/Cream porcelain, all set against a swirl of embossed leaves. These two luncheon plates portray a pair of Ceder Birds and a Bewick's Wren

Condition:
The plates have no noticeable chips or cracks. The rim of both plates are rougher in texture which seem to be from age but there are no sharp chips. There is crazing on both plates, top and bottom. The transferware patterns are in mint condition. These are older plates so please understand they will be in antique condition.
