When I'm in India if I want something simple and homely it's what I turn to. This delightful plateful is concealing a plate from my 'new' 1970's era Denby Troubadour dinner service which I absolutely love. I retired our Portmerion Botanic Garden, which we've had since the mid - 80's, last year and have managed to accumulate a good quantity of this design, most in almost new condition. The flower is apparently a magnolia.
