This small (3 7/8″ diameter) plate/stand is believed to have been used as a stand for syllabub cups but there are very few known. Also, they would be suitable as cup plates. This plate is footed and has full and well done decoration for its small size. These small plates are desired by doll house collectors. The bottom is glazed.

These late Reticulated Plates/Dessert Plates are rare and desirable. They range in diameter from 7 3/4″ to 8 1/8″ and from 7/8″ to 1″ high. The 2 plates pictured are a representative sample. All of these late plates have glazed bottoms, are made of thinner porcelain and are delicate. NOTE: The plate on the left has a rain cloud border and the one on the right has a straight-line border. Also, these plates should not be confused with fruit basket oval stands which are made of heavier porcelain.

Luncheon plates are quite common although perfect condition ones are scarcer. As with all early Canton plates they are very attractive in their primitive painting. They range in diameter from 8 1/2″ to 9 1/8″ and from 7/8″ to 1 1/4″ deep. If they are deeper we would consider them soup bowls. The 3 luncheon plates pictured are a representative sample. All of these luncheon plates have glazed bottoms and are heavier and sturdier than later plates with straight-line borders.

Octagonal Luncheon Plates are scarce. They range in width from 9″ to 9 1/8″ and are 1″ to 1 1/8″ high. If they were 1 1/2″ deeper or more, we would consider them soup bowls.

They range in diameter from 8 1/2″ to 8 5/8″ and are all 1″ deep. The 2 “CHINA” plates pictured are a representative sample. These late bowls have glazed bottoms and are made of thin porcelain as opposed to the heavy porcelain of the early rain cloud border plates.

They are all 9 5/8″ in diameter and range in height 1 1/8″-1 1/4″. The 2 dinner plates pictured are a representative sample. These late plates have glazed bottoms and rain cloud borders.
