1960's/70's Staffordshire Potteries Ltd 'Weston' Large Side Plate by Elayne Fallon

Dating from the 1960's or thereabouts here is a groovy ironstone large side plate from the Staffordshire Potteries and decorated in the 'Weston' pattern designed by Elayne Fallon consisting of purple, turquoise, green and light blue daisy/Mary Quant type flowers.  The pattern extends around the rim of the plate and is very flower-power in inspiration - a really lovely item so indicative of the period in which it was manufactured that looks amazing on display but is robust enough to be used for it's original purpose.  Fully marked to the base with 'Staffordshire Potteries Ltd, WESTON, designed by Elayne Fallon IRONSTONE Made in England'.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE:   Diameter 9in/23cm   Weight 480g (av.)

CONDITION:  Lovely original condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines - there is crazing to the central plain section of the plate and on the reverse there are unglazed marks where the plate would have sat in the kiln during firing (original to manufacture).  Nothing significant but mentioned for accuracy.
