Minton \"Luxor\" Salad Plates
PRESTIGIOUS 1920s ART DECO FINE BONE CHINA • SET OF 12
An Art Deco Masterpiece
Elevate your collection with this magnificent estate lot of twelve (12) Minton salad plates in the highly coveted, discontinued \"Luxor\" pattern. Produced in England during the height of the 1920s Art Deco movement, Luxor is celebrated for its striking visual architecture—vibrant cobalt blue scrolls set against an iconic mustard-yellow geometric border.
What sets Minton Luxor apart is the masterful hand-enameled detailing. Each multi-colored floral cluster is individually raised, offering a tactile, artisanal quality that modern, flat-printed china simply cannot replicate. Finding a substantial grouping of twelve 7 ¾” plates together is an increasingly rare occurrence for discerning porcelain collectors.

📋 Professional Condition Report
⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please carefully review all provided high-resolution photographs to independently inspect the exact physical condition of this historical set.
- Overall Condition Grade: Good to Very Good (Mixed Vintage Lot)
- Structural Faults: Ten (10) plates are structurally sound. Two (2) plates feature visible cracks and failed the acoustic ring test. Extremely minor, microscopic \"flea bites\" (tiny glaze nicks) are present on the outer rim edges of select intact plates; these minor imperfections have been clearly photographed for full transparency.
- Glaze & Surface: Shows very minor surface wear across the lot, including light silverware utensil marks in the central white wells, entirely consistent with occasional historic use over a 100-year lifespan.
- Pattern & Enamel: The Art Deco mustard-yellow borders and vibrant blue scrolls remain highly intact, bright, and beautifully uniform across all 12 pieces. The hand-enameled floral elements retain their beautiful, distinctly raised texture with minimal stacking rub.
