Booth’s ‘Real Old Willow’ Design Blue and White Bread and Butter Plate (Brown and Gold)

This is a nice example of a classic design originally produced by Booth’s in the latter half of the 20th century. The plate has a scalloped and slightly everted rim. The whole is transfer printed with the classic ‘Real Old Willow’ design in blue and white. This is the ‘Gold and Brown’ variation of the pattern, where the edges are gilded and a stripe of pattern on the interior is printed in brown. The underside is printed in the centre with the Booth’s logo and the words ‘BOOTHS 1 77 MADE IN ENGLAND REAL OLD WILLOW A8025’. It has a diameter across the rim of about 21.4cm. It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is the odd wear and tear scratch from use. The gilding is also a little worn at the edges.
