Hollinshead & Kirkham, otherwise known as H & K Tunstall (1870 - 1956) were originally from Burslem in Staffordshire, UK (1870 - 1876) and moved their pottery works to nearby Tunstall in 1876. In 1890 they took over the Unicorn Works pottery. The pottery was incorporated into the Johnson Bros Group in 1956.
In the early 1920's designer Harold Growcott joined the pottery and designed a range of hand-painted designs on porcelain. The designs featured an abstract background painted in two or more colours, on top of which bold fruit or floral designs were painted. These designs were known as the "Delicious Dozen", although there were actually fourteen different pattern designs. Some of these pattern names are Anemone, Autumn, Gaiety, Iris, Lucia, Luscious, Panola, Primula, Tulip Time and Viola. These patterns are sometimes unfairly described as "the poor man's Moorcroft". These patterns were mostly produced between both World Wars.
This item is beautiful biscuit plate by H&K Tunstall with a gold chintz pattern all around the verge and rose bouquets also decorating the verge. In the centre of the biscuit plate is a tapestry patterned flower bouquet. The plate has gold trim on the rim as well as a gold band all around the centre.
The item has the printed mark (1933-1942) H&K Tunstall.
The biscuit plate is in very good condition.
