English Superb Floral Plate

This is a superb plate made by one of the better English makers in the early 19th century. When I first got it I was thinking maybe Nantgarw and Billingsley as the painter because the quality is that good! Actually probably the best English floral plate I have seen but it was probably made a bit later because the Moss Rose was in fashion after that factory already closed. Ince I am no expert in this field maybe I am completely off and someone can help that knows for sure. Maybe it is by Coalport , Daniel , Bourne or even Rockingham but like I said I have no idea. The quality seems better than anything I ahve seen by them. Either way it sure is one heck of a plte. The entire rim having Moss roses on it in different states of bloom and the center a superb arrangement of great flowers. A bit of a gold trim too. The plate is in great display condition with a little wear mostly to the gilding but as you can see from the pic underneath it has lots of hairlines though they seem stable. Likely because the center plate is extremely thin and translucent porcelain while the rim is thicker. While the lines are quite visible from the underside, only small parts are visible from the top and they are not obvious and thus the plate displays very nicely! It is unmarked which is common but definitely English from this period. The plate is 0.875 inches tall and 8.375 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
