What's my Pottery? / Imari style plate.
« Last post by keith on May 22, 2022, 12:07:12 PM »This is the second piece, 7 inches in diameter, think it's an English copy, only 2 marks to the base, an impressed one and what looks like the numbers 205 and a half followed by an arrow.

British & Irish / Re: Woolworths "Brocade" chintzy pattern.
« Last post by Anne E.B. on January 03, 2022, 04:50:29 PM »I do miss Woolies. We had a local one that seemed to sell everything and I'm not too sure why they 'disappeared' from the high streets. May be they didn't change with the times and had to compete with IKEA and the rest. We use to make a beeline for the pick'n'mix as it was cheaper to buy a big bag of sweets rather than buying them at the local cinema (or pictures as we called it), where they cost a lot more.
Some of the household china that they sold is very collectable now, especially the Homemaker range designed by Enid Seeney for Ridgeways.
