Wemyss Pottery - a brief history

After the death of Karel Nekola in 1915, Edwin Sandland was appointed chief decorator and when he died in 1928, Karel's son Joseph Nekola was appointed. The pottery closed in 1930 and Joseph moved to the Bovey Pottery Company of Bovey Tracey in Devon who had bought the Wemyss Ware rights and moulds. For a selection of Wemyss visit Premier Antiques

Victorian Majolica Bread Platters

Majolica 'Corn on the Cob' Bread Plate c1880

Reminiscent of farmhouse kitchens, scrubbed pine tables and freshly baked loaves, majolica bread platters are a great area for collecting and form a lovely backdrop for other majolica pieces. As a 'one off' kitchen table centrepiece they look stunning too. Sometimes with a 'daily bread' quote round the edge and sometimes with a decorative theme that bears little connection to food, there are many variations. Very difficult to find in perfect condition as they were often in daily use, a few knocks and scrapes can be acceptable. Here are three great examples from my majolica collection at Premier Antiques

Majolica 'Pineapple' Bread Plate c1880
