Overview
This cream ceramic plate has been hand-painted with a decorative motif of strawberries, currants, blackberries, peaches and leaves, and the rim is decorated with graded grey bands. The base is stamped with a gilt, italicised 'Crown Lynn' mark, used from around 1948 when the Ambrico factory at New Lynn first began using the Crown Lynn name.
