These plates are made of high quality porcelain with a lovely pattern depicting a floral scene with flying birds in blue, yellow and red in a gray/black background on white surface with scalloped edges. You can read the maker's official stamp at the back of each plate as follows:

History: Ridgway Potteries was a British pottery manufacturer that produced mainly high quality earthenware from 1790s through to the mid twentieth century. The company was established by Job Ridgway (1759-1813) and his brother George (c. 1758-1823), who together established a factory at Hanley in 1794. Ridgway Pottery later merged with the Booths & Colclough China Company during the 1940s, and later became a part of Royal Doulton in 1972.
