The Scone Plate

Masons 'Blue Pheasant' c1830

I sat on the filthy carpet of the junk shop
and looked through the pile of china.
This plate was at the bottom,
thickly covered with sticky dust
and waiting patiently
for someone to see the beauty underneath.

  5. That's the joy of a junk shop, as opposed to an antiques shop - these little treasures are so exciting to find and clean up! Such a lovely plate too.
