[Discontinued] Wedgwood Blue Jasper Round Tray - United Arab Emirates

[Discontinued] Wedgwood Blue Jasper Round Tray, made in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 1974 to 1980, is for sale. The size is 4.5 inches (11.5mm).

"Falconry," which has a history of thousands of years, is a very important, in a sense, sacred event for the people of the Middle East, not just the people of the UAE. The national bird of the UAE, which gained independence from the British Empire in 1971, is the falcon (隼_hayabusa), and the falcon is featured in the design of the national emblem.
This Blue Jasperware Round Tray seems to have been planned and produced soon after independence, but I was unable to find out the details. However, I believe that the design, featuring the falcon held by a man, the main character of the most prestigious traditional event in the Middle East, and the first president (hereditary system) of the UAE, expresses great joy and dynamism.
From the WEDGWOOD and MADE IN ENGLAND markings on the bottom, the symbol indicating the workshop with two letters, the composition, and the Ⓡ mark, I believe it was made around 1974-1980.

The original box for this small dish, which I have already disposed of, seems to have been labeled "Sweet Dish," but I am listing it using the name "Round Tray," which is the most commonly used name for the other boxes I have.

There is no dirt on the bottom, and there are no chips, discoloration, or stains on the "national bird falcon" held by a Middle Eastern man in the center, or on the white lily-of-the-valley relief that adorns the edge of the tray. It is a vintage item that is estimated to have been manufactured nearly 50 years ago. How about it?
