[QUOTE="Lavrentii, post: 9490699, member: 80422"]Just received reply from Minton archive. It is not a Minton. Here it is. "Please find attached a comprehensive list of Minton tableware pattern numbers. It does not include B2456 and I would also expect any pattern with gilding to have a pattern number prefixed by a ‘G’. This means that your pieces are unlikely to have been manufactured by Minton. Unfortunately, was not a requirement for manufacturers to mark their ware and it is not uncommon to find pieces without a company logo, but very rare for a well-known, top of the range company like Minton. In my personal opinion the plate you’ve sent a photograph of is really lovely and fairly well made. Whoever applied the pattern has been careful to make sure it is even, though the gold dots are not all absolutely perfect.
