A classic antique flow blue plate in the Catherine Mermet pattern by W.H. Grindley & Co., featuring a soft cobalt floral border that gently bleeds into the glaze — a hallmark of traditional flow blue ware.
Produced in England in the late 19th century, this pattern reflects the Victorian fascination with romantic French-inspired florals, adapted for export markets. The embossed rim and traces of gilt detailing add depth and texture, while the natural crazing gives the surface a beautifully aged character.
An effortless addition to blue-and-white collections, wall displays, or layered table settings.
