This is a part of a selection of rarer 1950s British tablewares that I am listing. Postal discounts would of course apply for multiple purchases.
On offer here is a rare and pretty pair of side plates. There were made by Crown Ducal - as you can see on the lovely back stamp on the base. The pattern name is Arizona - this is a very rare and popular mid-century design - probably one for the more specialist collector of 50s tablewares. A have a few different pieces in my store.
This design is totally wonderful - one of my favourites.
It is a design called Arizona and it looks at a garden or patio in Arizona. near the Mexican border. The pattern features a green table with spindly legs and is covered above with a red and black striped canopy. The table is in a desert garden - and it features a selection of succulent plants and cacti in pots that are randomly arranged in the design. The little plants with round leaves or berries are very atomic in form - and totally suited to 50s design. The pattern is repeated on all other pieces in the range.
They are certainly 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.
Please check details in all my images in close-up.
This is a pretty pair of side plates. They measure 8 inches in diameter. Unpacked the set is 370 grams in weight.
They are in pretty good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are no disfiguring cutlery marks on the pattern or surface. - but there is a little rubbing to the images- especially the canopy section.
Again, I have taken the condition into account and I am pricing these at £15 each due to the little area of rubbing to the patterns, as well as their slightly larger size. They would look fabulous on display on your wall or on display in a conservatory or garden room.
