I am happy to present a nice Botanic Garden Dinner plate featuring the Flowered Chrysanthemum or Chrysanthemum Coccineum motif. The Variations pattern, created to compliment Botanic Garden, was retired several years ago.


The Chrysanthemum was introduced in 1994 as a dinner plate motif and was retired a few years ago in 2002. It was taken from a very old 1792 botanical illustration, The Botanical Magazine, Volume VI by William Curtis.

Botanic Garden Variations pattern was introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 2000. All pieces feature a ring of Rhododendron and Forget-Me-Not and have a smaller version of the center BG motif. The backstamp is very complex as can be seen in the bottom photo.
