19th C. Dutch Octagonal Child's Plates - Set of 4

Wonderfully evocative children's plates with molded daisy decoration and dedications in old dutch: 'aan myne kleine vriendin": "to my little friend"; "aan mynen broeder": "to my brother"; "aan myne zuster": "to my sister"; "ter belooning": "as present". The bigger daisies at each corner have been highlighted with pink/copper luster. Perfect as wall decoration for a girl's room. These plates are antique: probably ca. 1870. Good vintage condition with normal wear and some discoloration consistent with age. The age marks give these plates a special charm. Plate "aan myne zuster" has a small chip on the border.
