Set of Four RARE 1950s Adams Red Apple and Green Pear Dinner Plates
This scarcely found set of four large Mid-Century dinner plates, by Adams, features a subtle grey cross-hatch printed pattern, each with a bold hand-painted apple and pear to its centre.
We think they would be perfect in any vintage or mid-century modern styled interior, and would be very easy to mix through existing tableware.
Key Points:
• A set of four dinner plates
• Grey crosshatch pattern with hand-painted fruit design
• By William Adams and Sons (Adams), Stoke-on-Trent
• Marked to base
• In very good vintage condition
Year of manufacture:
c. 1940-1950s
Pattern:
Apple and Pear
Origin:
England
Good to know:
We have a quantity of this design available for purchase including teacups, saucers, and side plates
Approx. Measurements:
W: 25cm (10") diameter at rim
Condition:
They are in very good condition for their age, free of chips, cracks, nibbles, utensil marks of note or damage. All do carry age related crazing to their glaze, with one plate having some mottled darker discolouration due to this, as seen in the top left hand corner plate of image 2 and bottom lefthand plate in image 9. As with many ceramics of this era, they do display the odd stray paint smudge to their reverse.
