This Galileo plate is a product of the famous china manufacturers, Royal Doulton. The lovely tawny yellow of the plate adds an air of antiquity to the dish. Furthermore the clean black lines and dramatic shading only add to its old world feel. The rim of the plate is decorated by four concentric rings each filled with an architectural design, all of them leading down to the focal point of the plate; and intricate depiction of Galileo spreading his ideas among his contemporaries. From their detailed faces to the meticulously drawn backdrop, this piece would make a charming addition to any collection. The underside of the dish is stamped in black with the Royal Doulton mark.
