Birks Pate sur Pate Plate

This is a very detailed pate-sur-pate plate made by Mintons in the 20th century - 1931 to be exact according to the date code. It has three different scenic panels in the pate sur pate technique on the rim and a nice gold trim to make this one very elegant plate. Each scene is very detailed with cherubs doing different things in the raised white paste with a blueish background color. Each of these was painted by Albion Birks a student of the famous Marc Louis Solon . Two of the scenes are simply signed AB while one is signed A. Birks. The plate is of a nice size being 0.875 inches tall and 10.25 inches in diameter. It is in perfect condition with some use marks in the clear glaze of the center which can only be seen when held up to the light at the right angle. It is marked underneath with impressed Mintons as well as their typical date cyphers and the puce Minton mark with England underneath used from 1912 to the 50's I believe.
