Vintage Purple Maroon Romantic Staffordshire Bone China Plate & Matches / Toothpick / Cigarette Holder

$39.99

Brand Mason's

Here is another gorgeous English  match holder and matching miniature plate made by Royal Worcester.  This has three different scenes, one on the plate and one on each side of the holder.  One has a couple sitting in a garden playing stringed instruments.  One is a bridge scene and one a man fishing near a bridge.   This would be nice in the kitchen with toothpicks or matches.  The plate can be used as a trinket dish, ashtray, waste plate (for spent matches) etc.  It is very striking (pun intended 😉).  I believe this was made as a cigarette holder, but it's a wonderful size that’s perfect for holding matches, business cards, toothpicks, Bobbi pins or even as a small mini vase.  I also have the matching trinket dish / mini plate listed separately (the candle is sitting on it in the vignette)

Measures:  2 1/2” x 1" wide & 2 1/2”  tall
Plate is 3 3/4”
Condition: Good! No chips or cracks.
