Most English and American plates of this period are found in sizes ranging from 7 5/8" to around 8 1/2." The firm operated in London from 1784-1806

This plate measures 8 ¼” in diameter and is in near fine condition with fine as struck touches. The booge is beautifully hammered. A nice example of an export pewter plate.
