Design: "Ye Olde Cottage" cloche with matching underplate
Condition: Pre-owned - Good Vintage Condition
THE COLLECTOR’S CORNER: HISTORICAL INSIGHT
The Maker’s Mark: This iconic design was a signature product of Price Brothers before they merged to form Price & Kensington in 1961. It carries the famous "Ye Olde Cottage" backstamp, a hallmark of the Burslem pottery tradition in Stoke-on-Trent.
Cultural Context: Cottage ware was a post-war staple, bringing the nostalgic charm of a "thatched country cottage" into British kitchens. These pieces were designed to be both functional kitchenware and whimsical conversation starters during a time of renewed domestic focus.
Modern Styling: This dish is a quintessential "Cottagecore" accessory. It adds a warm, rustic touch to a modern breakfast table or serves as a charming sculptural piece for a farmhouse-style display cabinet, perfectly blending vintage utility with timeless English charm.
HONEST CONDITION DESCRIPTION This butter dish is in good vintage condition, featuring the vibrant hand-painted garden details and glossy finish that collectors prize. The two-piece cloche design remains sturdy and fully functional. As is common with English pottery of this age, there is some natural age-related crazing to the glaze. This "honest" patina verifies its authentic mid-century heritage and does not affect the structural integrity. There are no significant chips or cracks visible on the cloche or the underplate. Please review all high-resolution images to appreciate the hand-painted artistry.
