This striking vintage cabinet plate features a hand-tinted transfer design from Royal Doulton's popular "The Jester" series. The rim is decorated with a border of hanging Japanese-style paper lanterns amidst foliage, framing a vibrant central portrait of a smiling jester holding a puppet. Marked on the reverse with the standard Royal Doulton backstamp and pattern number D.6277, representing classic English ceramic production from the mid-20th century. Good vintage condition overall with clear hand-colored transfer details and a bright glaze. Light surface wear consistent with age and display use, with no major chips, cracks, or restorations noted. Dimensions: 26.5cm diameter
