Tin Plate 1


During my trip to New York in 2001, I also visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I spent almost the whole day and it's worth the tiredness. I bought four tin plates and this is one of them.

They are light and unbreakable. The original porcelain plates were used in some of the great British houses of centuries ago. People wouldn't know these are not the original porcelain plates until they are picked up.

This design called the “Duke of Gloucester” Pattern is taken from an English Worcester soup plate made about 1780. This plate produced for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York by Elite Gift Boxes, England.

It's now standing as a decorative plate in my kitchen and part of my priceless collectibles.
