These plates likely date from the 19th or early 20th century, featuring hand-painted floral motifs and a classic, elegant aesthetic. The plates are a testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of Dutch ceramics.

These plates would be a valuable addition to any collection of Delftware or antique ceramics, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Their historical significance and aesthetic beauty make them a desirable and unique piece.
