A Hicks & Meigh Stone China Grosvenor Pattern Cabinet Plate - An early 19th-century stone china cabinet plate manufactured by the Staffordshire partnership Hicks & Meigh. The plate features a lobed and scalloped rim and is decorated in the Imari-influenced Grosvenor pattern. The central design is composed of a large pink cabbage rose, smaller polychrome floral sprigs, and stylized cobalt blue leaves highlighted with gilded veins. The wide border consists of a cobalt blue ground enriched with gilded foliate scrollwork, interspersed with four white-ground cartouches each containing a floral spray. The decoration is executed through a combination of transfer-printed outlines, hand-painted enamels, and gilding. The reverse is marked with an impressed circular stamp reading Improved Stone China HICKS & MEIGH. It also features a blue printed cartouche containing the pattern name GROSVENOR and the initials C. M. & H., alongside a hand-painted red enamel oriental-style seal mark.
