English Ivy Green Transferware Salad Plate Crown Ducal Circa 1930s Charles Meigh & Sons Hidden flasks are concealed bottles

Hidden flasks are concealed bottles used to drink alcohol discretely

Having several would be so neat as butter pats or salt dips

The blue and white scene is transfer printed and  depicts a rural setting with farmers in the fields and people walking along a path

In the rear is a thatched Tudor cottage and a pair of sheep grazing in the yard

This stunning platter is from my personal collection
