Rare Oval Serving Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a part of a selection of rarer 1950s British tableware that I am listing. Postal discounts would of course apply for multiple purchases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn offer here is a rare oval serving plate. It was made by Johnson Brothers, as you can see on the lovely back stamp on the base. The pattern name is Autumn Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnson Brothers were probably looking at similar designs made by Eric Ravilious and issued by Wedgwood as their \"Garden\" series. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design features a spindly tree that is dropping its leaves in the autumn. The leaves flutter through the air. The colours used by Johnson Brothers are also very reminiscent of the Ravilious palette on the Wedgwood designs. These ones would have been a more affordable alternative and would have been had at a fraction of a Ravilious original. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Autumn Leaves ceramics probably date to the mid-1950s. They are now rarer survivors and not so many dinnerware pieces with this pattern seem to have survived. The rarity of these, the attractiveness of the design, and the fact that these are now over 60 years old and in generally good vintage condition are reflected in my asking price. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt measures 8 1\/4 x 7 1\/2 inches. It weighs 300 grams unpacked. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am pricing this at £22 as it is so rare and extremely hard to find. This is a fair price for such an iconic 1950s design and a fraction of what you might pay for a Ravilious alternative. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in fine vintage condition with no chips or cracks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation Code D  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39441901682752,"sku":"Sold for £22 to Australia","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1950s-johnson-brothers-autumn-leaves-pattern-rare-oval-serving-plate-british-ceramics-321.webp?v=1794029765","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1950s-johnson-brothers-autumn-leaves-pattern-rare-oval-serving-plate","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
