Pair of vintage Dartmouth Pottery "Motto Ware" side plates.
Hand-painted in Devon, England, circa 1950s–1960s, these pieces perfectly embody the cozy, nostalgic Cottagecore aesthetic.Both plates feature the iconic hand-painted cottage design with its signature winding orange pathway, bordered by a dainty blue dotted rim on a warm cream slip glaze.
Traditional Torquay and Devon potteries are beloved for these unique handwritten phrases. This set gives you the perfect mix of regional folklore and classic literature:
Plate 1 (West Country Dialect): "Daun'ee be 'fraid o'it now" (Don't be afraid of it now—traditionally used to encourage guests to eat up!).
Plate 2 (Shakespearean Quote): The timeless line from Hamlet: "To thine own self be true".📐
Diameter: Approx. 8.25 inches (21 cm) each. Perfect as dessert plates, side plates, or styled as hanging wall art decor.🌿
Vintage Condition Note:These pieces are in lovely vintage condition with vibrant paintwork. As is typical with authentic, mid-century red clay slipware, there is some fine, light surface glaze crazing. This natural aging process only adds to their rustic character and antique charm.
