Its soft green centre fading into apricot edges makes a striking piece of mid-century pottery to keep in view, even though its serving days are behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-painted in England, the sculptural \u003cem\u003eAnemone\u003c\/em\u003e-style flower form belongs to the playful side of Staffordshire ceramics. Perfect as a bold addition to a plate wall, as a dry decorative accent on a shelf or a considered addition to a collection of figural pottery, it is strictly for display only. Heavy stained crazing covers both sides, so it must not be used for food, liquids or wet contents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Shorter \u0026amp; Son Ltd., England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: \u003cem\u003eAnemone\u003c\/em\u003e \/ flower-petal form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Estimated circa 1945–1955\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: High-relief five-petal dish with curled stem-like handle and moulded central stamens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Approximately 32 × 40 cm; basin depth approximately 4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 950 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Hand-painted glazed earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Dry decorative display only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition, structurally sound but visibly aged.
