An English ceramic circular collector’s plate produced in Staffordshire, depicting a maritime rescue scene. The central transfer-printed decoration features a lifeboat in heavy seas, showing the characteristic orange superstructure and blue hull associated with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The plate is presented in its original grey-mottled cardboard box with custom foam inserts and a clear plastic protective wrap. The exterior of the box features two blue printed marks. The first, located in the upper right corner, features printed text surrounding a central crown graphic reading MINERVA WARE, CROWN, ESTD, STAFFORDSHIRE, and ENGLAND. The second, in the lower left corner, is the logo for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution featuring the letters R N L I surrounding a central anchor within a flag motif.
