Antique china WEDGWOOD PLATE Victorian 1800s English marks 1862 very old

Stamped 'Wedgwood' on the base, this is a large antique china plate. 

There's a date mark 'AGQ'. In 1860 the Wedgwood factory started marking its wares with the date of manufacture impressed in each piece as part of a three letter code. The first letter of the code represents the month of manufacture, the second identified the potter who threw the shape and the last letter signifying the year the piece was made starting with 0 for 1860. The Wedgwood dating I've found means this code would signify the plate was made in 1862 or 1888 (confusingly they repeated the letters, so it's hard to work out which of these two dates is correct!)

Measures approx. 25.5cm in diameter.

Overall, it's in nice decorative condition. No chips or cracks, but there's slight wear on the raised lip and a slight scratch on the centre of the plate. There's a thin white line under the glaze that must be an error during the manufacturing process. The centre surface is in good condition and the pattern of flowers and fruits is vibrant.

There is also an inch long repair on the perimeter. This is a very old repair, as it's had subsequent wear and is hardly noticeable. My family ran a china repairers during the late 19th century, so this would either be a repair they did in their earliest days, or one which predated them. 

Bid with confidence!
