T. & R. Boote's creamy white ironstone body seems to have been proven durable time and again given how frequently we have seen their simple brown transfer "Summertime" pattern over the years. "Summertime" is a Japanesque arrangement of weeds and butterflies framed in a chain-link border hugging the very edge of the plate.

What a convenient size plate, not only for dessert but also as the butter plate for the breakfast table.
