BACKGROUND:
Avon Ware was a registered trade name of Avon Art Pottery Ltd, located in Longton and beginning operations in 1930
A very creative potter, many of their products have a distinctly artistic "feel", particularly the character jugs and animal figures.
While this is "just" a small dish, part of their tableware range, it has been beautifully hand painted - truly eye catching!
DLAT Rating: 9/10 (Darling Look At This!)
