These two H\u0026amp;K Tunstall plates turn the look of petit-point needlework into a colourful floral display, bordered with roses, scrolls and gold filigree. They have lived a life, and together they make a more compelling cabinet or plate-wall pairing than either would alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in England by Hollinshead \u0026amp; Kirkham, both plates bear the green unicorn-in-woodland H \u0026amp; K Tunstall backstamp and date to circa 1933–1942. Perfect for a decorative plate wall or a considered addition to a collection of English pottery, they are sold together as one pair. These heavily crazed earthenware plates are for display only, not for food or drink use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Hollinshead \u0026amp; Kirkham (H\u0026amp;K Tunstall), Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Petit-point \/ cross-stitch-style floral transfer with gilt chintz border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Circa 1933–1942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Two square plates with clipped corners and gently scalloped rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 20 cm across each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weights: Plate 1, 309 g; Plate 2, 299 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Glazed earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as one pair; decorative display only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood to very good vintage condition as an unequal pair. Both plates are structurally sound, with no rim chips, hairlines or structural cracks reported. Both have pronounced glaze crazing. Plate 1 (309 g) has clean, even crazing and light wear to the gold ring around its centre. Plate 2 (299 g) has more noticeable rubbing to that gold ring and a localised amber-stained crazing patch on the reverse. These differences are reflected in the pair price. Neither plate is suitable for food or drink use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor dry decorative display only.
