Provenance: Purchased from Judy Taylor at Kensington Dolls House Festival, May 2022, where she was selling off stock from her old shop, Taylors Miniatures, in Goring-on-Thames. Judy bought the piece directly from Natasha at a fair in the USA some years ago.

Another work by the wonderful Natasha, this round scalloped plate has a black background, with a bronze garland surrounding a pink rose at the centre. A lovely piece, it will temporarily find a home in the Parlour. I feel immensely lucky to have happened upon this and the other Natasha pieces I bought at the same stand. A true windfall!
