Title: Plant's Tuscan China
Post by: Anne on April 19, 2008, 11:01:34 PM

This one seems to have some sites baffled as they don't seem to realise that Plant is the name of the company not the pattern/range name.

Made by the Staffordshire firm of R.H. and S.L. Plant Ltd. at the Tuscan China Works at Longton. It's a beautiful pink china body, apparently called Peach Bloom and created by Tuscan themselves. They did several designs on the pink body but this one is lovely!

Those are lovely, the firm often used the tradename 'Tuscan Decoro'.

This is the only two pieces I have of Tuscan, I sold them a while ago...

Gosh TC those are totally different, I'd not have thought they were from the same maker.  The ones I bought are absolutely gorgeous - even nicer than in the pics really - the pink body is quite striking! and they are perfect - not a mark on them - looks like they've been kept in a cupboard and not used. I have four cups and plates and five saucers so perhaps some of the set were used and broken and the rest never used.

Oooh - pretty, and I have a similar set!  I've never yet seen a teapot in these ranges, do you know if they were made too?

Hi Chloe, great to see you here too. :)  I'm not sure about tea pots - I'll have a root and see what I can turn up.

I did spot a tea set in this same Tuscan Peach Bloom china last Sunday but it was totally plain - no decoration at all - and no tea pot! ;)

Old topic, but new info... I've not managed to find a pink Tuscan teapot (yet!) but they certainly did coffee pots in pink:
