Victorian aesthetic antique brown transferware plate, birds flying tree branches, beehive mark

Aesthetic period late Victorian transferware china plate, birds and branches pattern in brown on browned stained china, a lovely patina of time and wear. The back is nearly as pretty as the front, with the old bee skep mark.

This bee hive marking is Dunn - Bennett & Co (Hanley, England) late 1800s or turn of the century.

The pattern name is 'Vintage', I believe. Which just goes to show that some things really are timeless!

Plate measures about 7 1/4" in diameter. No chips or cracks, but very discolored crazing from almost 150 years of age and use.
