About the Item

This is a beautiful cake plate from about 1830, made by Hilditch. The plate has warm beige ground with an elaborate gilt pattern, and a beautiful pink cabbage rose in the centre. The Hilditch pottery only operated under the name Hilditch from 1811 to 1846 but it had a large output in both useful earthenwares and some finer porcelain. After 1846 it continued under various other names, but its glory years were from about 1815 to the early 1840s. This plate has two moulded handles and would have belonged to a large tea service. The plate is unmarked, as was quite normal in this period, but the style can be dated to around 1830. CONDITION REPORT The plate is in perfect antique condition without any damage, repairs, or crazing and only very minimal rubbing. Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account. There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures! DIMENSIONS (diameter) 22cm X 24cm (8.75" X 9.5").
