Historical Background:
Booths Ltd, founded by Thomas Booth in the 1850s, was a well-established pottery manufacturer in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. By the 1920s, Booths became a leading manufacturer under Charles H. Bowers, producing high-quality earthenware. Their 'Real Old Willow' pattern is one of the most recognizable and enduring designs, loved for its intricate blue-and-white motif depicting traditional Chinese-inspired scenes. This plate was made during the peak years of Booths' production before their merger with Colclough China in 1948.
A true collector's piece, this plate would make a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage English pottery or blue and white transferware.
