History: This is a fine bone china serving plate from the renowned Royal Albert brand, featuring the "Silver Maple" pattern. The design shows a delicate transfer of maple leaves and seeds in soft blue-greys and greens, with subtle hand-applied gold gilding on the rim and handles. The plate’s wavy, scalloped edges and gold accents are typical of mid-century Royal Albert aesthetics.
 
 
The backstamp dates this piece to the late 1950s through the 1970s. Royal Albert’s "Silver Maple" was part of a series of botanical-inspired patterns and was produced for both UK and export markets, especially to North America and Australia. The plate appears in good vintage condition with some mild wear to the gilding, which is common for items of this age.
 
 
Serving plates like this were originally intended for cakes, sandwiches, or general entertaining—typical of the elegant post-war British tea table. Royal Albert’s bone china is highly collectible, especially with nature or floral motifs.
