Plate
1950-51 (designed and made)
| Place of origin |
Bone china plate from a group of wares with designs based on structures observable through X-ray crystallography. This one is unusual in not representing a specific crystal structure. Though the pattern was thought to be good it was not put into production, perhaps due to difficulties in reproducing it commercially. The pattern is transfer-printed in enamels, with painted enamel dots, gilded rim and banding.
