Anyone seen this one before? See here

Thought it might be Blossom 1975 - but on looking, it's totally different....?
Lovely striking design.  Blossom of some sort though.

[Anne]

Yes, Christine, it's Yasmin, and comes in three different background colours: red, white, and yellow. I have a red background one in a smaller size.  They are not as common as some of the other patterns.

Ah, that explains why I didn't recognise it. It's in red on David's site

[Anne]

Found a white Yasmin cakestand (10" diameter) today...   :hiclp:

 Anne. Nice to see you found a white Yasmin. Funny enough David only rank it same as red Yasmin even it is harder to find.

I found a white Yasmin a few weeks back a 8 inch fluted plate. But if you look closely at the top right hand corner a small flower bud is missing when compare with your 10" plate. May be the pattern was modified to fit a smaller plate.

Undoubtedly, they were paper transfers and were cut to fit. Yours has other bits missing too.

[Ming]

I did not notice any other things missing.

The orange leaf on the bottom right. You can see where the twig it's supposed to go on the end of just disappears behind a flower and then doesn't come out. The ceramics trade has always trimmed hand-applied transfers to fit. It was a very skilful job making the joins so no one could tell.

[Anne]

Ming yes, as Christine says, the transfers were cut to fit smaller sizes. Michelle has a 17cm (c. 6½") diameter white Yasmin too and hers has been trimmed even more... I'll ask her to add a pic here for comparison.
