Churchill China can trace its origins back to 1795 and the foundation of its first factory in what later became Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England, as a manufacturer of the finest ceramic tableware.
It is perhaps best known globally though for its Blue Willow collection which is its oldest pattern and most collectible as well as the famous Hunt Scene plates.
Myotts were established in 1898 by Ashley Myott and he worked in partnership with his brother Sydney, the firm worked the Alexander Pottery, Wolfe Street, Stoke. 
In 1969 Myotts were bought out by Interpace an American corporation who were at the time the largest manufacturer of tableware in the USA. The Myott name was retained and in 1976 the company merged with Alfred Meakin Ltd, who were based in Tunstall, to form Myott-Meakin Ltd. In 1989 the name Myott-Meakin (Staffordshire) Ltd. was adopted as a result of an acquisition by Melton Modes. 
In June 1991 the company was bought out by the Churchill Group of potteries. 
Condition: Very Good, no chips or crazing on a very well maintained plate, the edges and pattern are in very good order.
