W.H. Grindley - Platter (7) - Earthenware - John Maddock & Sons boards.

These vintage deep plates feature the 'Minerva' pattern from John Maddock & Sons.

• Origin: The dinnerware was made in England.
• Style: The bowls display Art Deco characteristics, with an ivory background and floral motifs.
• Shape: The dinnerware is known for its distinctive form, sometimes referred to as 'Royal Ivory'.
This dinnerware hails from the Art Deco period, specifically the 1930s.

It concerns classic British earthenware recognizable by:
The typical angular, octagonal design (octagonal) of the plates and dishes, which was characteristic of the modernism of that era.
The colorful, hand-painted chintz floral decoration with contrasting black or gold edge lines. 

Manufacturers such as Enge (with decorations like 'Penelope'), Crownford Burslem and Myott & Sons produced this type of "Ivory Ware" (ivory-colored dinnerware) on a large scale in England during the interwar period.
