Maker: Don Pottery  Pattern: Union green

The green glazed wares of the Don Pottery are well known and found almost exclusively on dessert wares. The design consists of the national emblems of the rose, thistle and shamrock, so we have given it the name Union, as one assumes it was inspired by the Acts of Union 1801.
No maker's backstamp, but impressed worker's star mark, which is recorded as being used by Don Pottery.
The glaze is crazed and on the back is an area of glaze, where this plate has touched another in the kiln and disfigured the glaze. The face is OK apart from a couple nicks or nibbles on the rim, which look as if they may have started as glaze faults.

Dimensions: 20 cm / 8 ins
