Antique Edwardian White Ironstone Scale Plate - Justitia et Fides

A nice smaller sized Edwardian white ironstone scale plate, perfect for use as a cheese board for a small number of people.

In excellent condition, these ceramic platters look fabulous simply on display and they also make excellent cheese plates.

Made in the late 1800s/early 1900s in white ironstone, this scale plate has a striking under glaze black transfer print featuring the popular "JUSTITIA ET FIDES" logo, translating to Justice & Faith. The print is still clear and makes a very interesting feature.

The ironstone makes it ideal for use as a cheese board or for serving up food on as a platter or ironstone slab, keeping the food at a cool and constant temperature.

The plate is in good antique condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing. There are a few age spots and light surface scratches in places. There are also some marks to the edge of the plate from where it was in daily use sitting in a set of scales but overall it is a very clean piece.
