plate reads as best as I can make out- "Real A. Bros China- Iron Stone." At the top of the script there is a figure of a royal crown. Each plate is individually marked and numbered. The decor of the plate is painted in reds, blues and flecks of gold. At the center is a vase holding a mix of flowers, wild and others and at the rims on three sides are drawn and painted within circles (smaller plates?) a kind of bird - or may be chicken.
Can anyone help me identify this plate and lead me to where I might find additional info as I am preparing to put the plate (s)
on the market. I also think that there is a possibility that the plate (s) is circa1888s. Thanks so much for your help.

Ashworth Ironstone, I believe, and so lovely.
Knowing this.. go on ebay and see if you can find your design for a comparable. These links should give you a frame of reference.
I wish you good luck!
