Royal Doulton "Moss Rose" bread and butter plate 1940

I found this cute Royal Doulton bread and butter plate at the Moonee Ponds BSL last week - the original is much nicer than the photo.  I don't know what the shape of the plate is called, but I like it.

The back mark with "Bone China" at the bottom intimates a date between 1928 and 1973, and the code bnumber V2247 gives a date of 1940, according to the Antiques Marks website.

Royal Doulton Flowers and Poplars pattern dinner plate


The flowers may be anemones with poplars in the background.  The rim is painted in dark green. The backstamp and impressed number of 34 seem to indicate that the plate dates from 1934.

I bought this in a little antique shop in Block Arcade many years ago for Max's birthday one year, but I think I liked it more than he did.
