Interesting Octagonal Blue & White Plate After an English Silver Shape

This is a really interesting piece as it copies an English silver shape from the early 18th century. The base is flat to the surface mimicing a silver gadrooned tray, and the base retains the evidence of twelve spur marks that supported it during firing. Despite the early 18th century shape, the decoration is certainly mid 18th century.

Chinese Export for the English Market. c.1760
