The Queen Victoria pattern is highly versatile, featuring butterflies and floral motifs that are scaled and arranged to suit the specific dimensions of each plate style. While the core design remains consistent, the placement of the hand-painted elements may vary slightly from piece to piece due to the artisanal process.
