vintage Royal Doulton Bell Heather bone china 6" bread plate.

Dimensions: bread plate 6 The Bell Heather pattern exemplifies the company's mid-century penchant for bringing naturalistic botanical motifs into everyday dining aesthetics. Designers drew inspiration from the rugged British countryside, capturing delicate wildflowers with soft pastel pinks and muted greens against crisp white bodies. These cheerful yet sophisticated floral lines became staples in middle-class households across the British Commonwealth during the post-war decades, prized for their durability and timeless charm. Royal Doulton traces its roots back to 1815 when John Doulton established a partnership in Lambeth, London, initially focusing on industrial salt-glazed stoneware and utility vessels. Over the course of the 19th century, the firm expanded rapidly into decorative arts and fine bone china, eventually gaining a global reputation for superior ceramic craftsmanship. * items are from a smoke free home without damage or modification. * all items are sold (as is), no returns will be accepted.
