Olde Alton Ware

We recently acquired this beautiful vintage blue and white plate. The stylized tree, pagoda and birds are reminiscent of the traditional features of willow pattern, but the floral border suggested it was something a bit different.

After a little research we discovered it is 'Olde Alton Ware,' made by Stoke on Trent china company Swinnertons and probably dates between 1930-50.

The pattern depicts the Japanese Pleasure Gardens at none other than Alton Towers. How things have changed over the years!
