Circa: 1977
Manufacturer: Coalport China Company/Made in England
This beautiful 1977 Christmas Plate, Dangerous Skating, is second in an annual series reproduced from the original Pratt prints and is marked: Bone China / Coalport / Made in England / Est.1750 / Christmas 1977 / dangerous skating.
The history of Coalport goes back to 1750 when Squire Brown of Caughley Hall in Shropshire began producing wares using clay and coal from his estate. On his death he was succeeded by his nephew who was joined in 1772 by Thomas Turner, the originator of the Blue Willow pattern in England and an eminent engraver.
The firm was sold in 1799 to John Rose who had founded a ceramic manufactory at Coalport, a village on the bank of the River Severn. In 1820 he received the Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Arts for a new felspar china with leadless glaze, a discovery which was a major life-saver as well as a fillip to business.
In 1926 Coalport moved from Shropshire to Stoke-on-Trent, its home today, and in 1967 it became a member of the Wedgewood Group, since when it has continued to flourish.
A scene of people crossing an icy pond and one gentlemen not being so lucky as when he fell he cracked the ice in the center surrounded by a border of Christmas Trees and Holly with gold trim.
In very good + condition without chips, cracks or fleabites it measures 9 inches in diameter.
An addition to any Coalport China Plate Collection.
