Motif: Imperial crown above a radiating sunburst & flower
Motto: NUNQVAM SUPER IMPERIVM OCCIDENS -
"The sun never sets over the Empire."

Origin: Staffordshire, England (most likely)
Use: Decorative/commemorative tableware celebrating the
British Empire
Find location: Essex Coastline, England
Extra Information:
The motto and sunburst emblem reflect the Victorian slogan referring to the global reach of the British Empire. Many inexpensive commemorative wares used semi-heraldic crests featuring crowns, Latin phrases, and symbolic imagery. This fragment is typical of patriotic household ceramics produced during Queen Victoria's jubilees and the height of imperial sentiment.
Because such plates were everyday objects, many were discarded, leaving fragments like this along rivers and coastlines.
