{"product_id":"maling-anemone-display-plate-6535-cobalt-blue","title":"Maling \"Anemone\" Display Plate 28.5cm — Cobalt Blue Glazed Earthenware, c.1947–1955, Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome pieces arrive with their own lighting. This Maling plaque holds the eye in its deep cobalt ground, then gives it somewhere to travel — across the raised scrolling border, through the brightly coloured anemone flowers and leaves, and into the small hand-painted details that make the surface feel alive. It is a superb example of why beautifully made vintage pottery can do more for a room than a shelf of new things ever will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade by C.T. Maling \u0026amp; Sons of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, this shallow display plate is decorated in the \u003cem\u003eAnemone\u003c\/em\u003e pattern, number 6535. The wide, generous form works beautifully on a plate stand, in a cabinet or hung as a focal point in a layered display — perfect for a collector of English art pottery, or as a considered addition to a room that likes its colour rich and unapologetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised outlines are an example of tube-lining, a painstaking decorative technique in which liquid slip is piped onto the surface before the flowers and border are painted and fired. Produced during Maling's post-war Art Deco revival, circa 1947–1955, this piece carries the maker's characteristic sense of texture, movement and decorative confidence. Its deep cobalt ground is glossy rather than metallic or iridescent — a rich, reflective glaze rather than traditional lustreware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e C.T.

No chips, cracks, repairs or structural flea bites. Fine, clean crazing is present throughout, consistent with the age and manufacture of vintage Maling pottery, with some localised stained crazing visible in the glaze. There is also some surface wear to the cobalt-blue glaze consistent with use, visible in the photographs. This is an honest part of the piece's history and does not compromise its structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay only.
