Royal Grafton 'Malvern' Bone China Dinner Plate with Gilt Trim Set of 8
About the Item
This elegant vintage dinner plate by Royal Grafton features the charming ‘Malvern’ pattern—an exquisite design of multicolored floral sprays arranged around the rim and center of the plate, framed by a fine scalloped edge and delicate gold gilt trim. Crafted in fine English bone china, the plate exemplifies the rich decorative tradition of mid-century British porcelain.
What sets this piece apart is its exceptional condition, vibrant color retention, and the intricacy of the floral design—rendered in saturated pinks, blues, and purples with a painterly feel. The gold detailing remains crisp and intact, a rare find for pieces of this age. The ‘Malvern’ pattern was one of Royal Grafton’s more ornate designs, and plates in such condition are increasingly hard to find, especially as singles for display or mix-and-match table settings.
This piece is not just tableware—it’s decorative art, made with a level of craftsmanship and material quality that defines mid-century English ceramics. The use of bone china, known for its strength and luminosity, and the precise hand-applied gilt trim reflect the elevated production standards of Royal Grafton. It's both functional and collectible, suitable for display, gifting, or enhancing your dinner service with authentic vintage charm.
In person, the plate is luminous—the white bone china has a soft, almost pearlescent finish that sets off the rich colors of the floral pattern. The raised gilt edge adds a subtle glint when it catches the light. It feels delicate yet substantial in the hand, with a refined weight that speaks to its quality.
Royal Grafton was produced by A.B. Jones & Sons Ltd, a renowned Staffordshire pottery firm active from the early 1900s through the 1970s. Known for their detailed floral patterns and regal branding, they received a Royal Warrant in 1949, which elevated their status as makers of fine china. The ‘Malvern’ pattern was produced in the 1950s–60s, named after the picturesque town of Malvern in England’s Worcestershire hills—likely a nod to its English garden aesthetic.
Whether added to a curated collection or used to elevate a modern tablescape, this plate is a testament to timeless English elegance.
