I have other pieces in this pattern in terracotta and black in my shop.  

I also have a small selection of pieces in the black and white colour version. 

This is a cute enough little "starter piece" which would look good on display on a wall with a little plate hanger on the back. 

It is a side plate and in good vintage condition.  It is printed in black on white and with a glossy finish (the terracotta ones have a matt finish). 

They have no chips, no cracks and no crazing to the glaze. A lovely example. 

Dimensions: The wee plate has a diameter of 8 inches. 

HISTORY: Robert ‘Scottie’ Wilson was born in Glasgow in 1890. 

In the 1920s Scottie visited Canada and finally emigrated to Toronto in 1931. He started to draw during the 1930s and soon developed a very unique style of pen and ink drawing of dream-like creatures such as swans, birds, fish, trees and flowers. 

In 1944 he returned to Britain settling in London.  His work was exhibited in London and in Paris, and examples of his work are in the National Gallery of Scotland, the Tate Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum, New York.

In the early 1960s, Royal Worcester commissioned Wilson to design a tableware pattern.  It was produced in two different colours, black printed onto terracotta and grey and black printed onto white glazed earthenware.  The ‘Scottie Wilson’ pattern was based on the totem poles of the North American Indigenous People that the artist had studied during his visits to Canada. The pattern was unfortunately not a success in Britain probably being too expensive for its target audience. It was much admired in design circles.  Production finished by 1965 and pieces are now getting very collectable.  

The plate will cost £4.95 with Royal Mail Recorded. Where any excessive postage is charged to you - your overpayment will be promptly refunded to you.
