This is a highly collectible little piece of antique Scottish Art Pottery.

I love this pretty dessert plate. I would probably never use it but would put it on display on a stand. It is made by Mak Merry pottery and is signed on the base.

The plate has a blue band and a grey band running around the rim - and onto this has been painted a very intricate pattern - the white Prunus blossoms set against a vivid blue sky are so beautiful and make me think of Japanese prints. There is another pale grey band towards the center - which is made up of a plain white disc 

It is one of many of my Mak Merry pieces in my online shop. 

I have taken lots of images for your inspection. 

It is in good antique condition. There is a little very light crackling to the clear glaze. This is not obvious on display - but when you look at the glaze in close-up. I think that this crazing happened in the firing process of the plate and is not damaged, as such. Each plate on offer here has been priced to reflect its really lovely design. Similar pieces with this pattern are currently on display at the Museum of Edinburgh (as illustrated).  

The diameter of the plate is 8 inches.  

UK Posting is going to be £5.50 and this is with Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. This will be applied at the checkout. 

HISTORY: The MakMerry pottery grew out of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute, which was founded in 1917 in the Scottish town of Macmerry by Catherine Blair.

Catherine had previously been an active Suffragist, campaigning for 'Votes for Women' and had a history of promoting female independence and equality. She became involved in the suffragette movement by writing countless letters to the press about the plight of women. 

In 1920 MakMerry was set up as the trading arm of the Institute. Initially, members invested small sums of money and produced food items for sale – but they soon moved into producing fine craftworks as well – one of the crafts was pottery decoration. They hand-painted smaller household items such as plates, shallow bowls, lidded pots, and the sweetest teapots – and all these are instantly identifiable and often featured delicate and stylized floral patterns.
