Set of Two Antique English Plates - Mid-19th Century

A truly beautiful and very unique set of two antique plates, dating to the mid-19th century and made in England. These plates feature an exquisite blue and white floral transferware pattern, with a soft, slightly muted blue tone that feels both elegant and timeless. The mark on the reverse indicates production by B. T. & Co (England), a respected 19th-century English manufacturer known for durable ironstone wares made for both everyday use and refined display. What makes these plates particularly special is their ornate shape with delicate integrated side handles, giving them a sculptural, almost serving-dish character rather than a standard flat plate.
