Wedgwood Plate

Beautiful 9" plate from England, with wonderful color and detail. Some wear and scratches from use (note closeup of bird--detail not very sharp), but overall quite eye-catching. Other than use-wear, plate has no hairlines, cracks, crazing, or other problems.

Marked on back with Wedgwood and England, along with number 17655 10 (production or year code?). I'm still trying to discover the pattern name. If you know, let me know! (Is this "Passionbird?")
