Antique Adderley “Chelsea” English Bone China Cocktail & Dessert Plates, Mixed Botanical Set of 6, c. 1912–1926
A charming mixed set of six antique Adderley "Chelsea" fine bone china plates, made in England circa 1912–1926. Each features delicate botanical decoration in soft periwinkle and lavender-blue, with a mix of grape, thistle and sprig motifs that gives the set a wonderfully collected-over-time feel.
At approximately 5.5 inches in diameter, these petite plates are perfect for entertaining. Use them for cocktail-hour bites, alongside a coupe or martini, or for small desserts, berries, chocolates and after-dinner sweets. The variation among the botanical patterns is part of their charm, a coordinated antique set rather than six identical pieces, and an easy way to bring beautiful old china back into everyday use. Good antique condition, see photos.
