Churchill Blue Willow Ceramic Side Plate

At 17 cm in diameter, this Churchill Blue Willow ceramic side plate presents the classic Blue Willow landscape with the crisp, confident transfer printing that Churchill China is known for, the compact form of the side plate giving the familiar cobalt blue landscape a concentrated elegance suited to both display on a dresser shelf and use at the table.

Made by Churchill China of Stoke-on-Trent, one of England's most enduring transferware manufacturers, this side plate is part of the Blue Willow range, Churchill's version of the Blue Willow pattern that has been one of the most enduringly popular and widely produced patterns in English transferware since its introduction in the late 18th century. The side plate, at 17 cm in diameter, is one of the most versatile forms in any table service, suited to use as a bread plate, a side dish, or a display piece, and the quality of the Churchill transferware printing, which renders the classic landscape of willow trees, pagodas, bridges, and birds with the crispness and clarity that the pattern demands, gives the plate a decorative quality suited to both daily use and display. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
