William Moorcroft RARE ADVERTISING PLATE C.1930

£5800.00

These plates are incredibly rare and i think i've only ever seen 4 including this one. The last one to come up for sale was in Bonhmas sale in 2010 and sold for £19,200 , it was not signed and previously a pansies one sold in Waddingtons Canada 2006 and made £21,000, this one was damaged.https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18679/lot/657/?category=results&length=90&page=2This example measures 10" in diameter and has a chip invisibly restored to the rim and is equally as rare as the other 2 examples. It is the first one to come onto the market in 9 years and it may be a long time if at all before another one does. Fully signed to the reverse and a rare piece of Moorcroft history.
