antique Masons Patent Ironstone china, multicolored fruit basket pattern plates or saucers

Set of four little plates (5 3/4" in diameter) fruit basket pattern Mason's Patent Ironstone china, ivory with multicolored design.

These are smaller than bread and butter plates - I'm not sure what their original purpose would have been. A little large for butter without the bread, no center ring so probably not saucers. (Generally the old saucers have a much deeper shape, anyway.)

These are showing their age with some glaze crazing and discoloration, more to the backs than the fronts. No chips or cracks on any of these, it's a nice old set.
