MINTONS SCENIC PLATES SET OF FOUR

Exceptionally fine set of four Minton's scenic plates.  Circa 1868-90.  The photographs do not convey the quality and beauty of this rare, mint condition set. Each plate is a hand painted water front scene with ocean, boats, buildings and people surrounded by a fine gold rim. This wonderful example of 19th century English porcelain art was made for and retailed by "Bailey, Banks & Biddle" of Philadelphia. Fresh from a local Brooklyn estate. All four plates are in virtually "like new" condition.  9 1/2" diameter.  Price  $895.00
