Vintage Parisienne and Paris Café pattern side plates | H is for Home

We bought these two lovely vintage Paris side plates this week – what classic 1950s designs!

Vintage Rigeway Parisienne side plate | H is for Home Vintage Alfred Meakin Paris Café side plate | H is for Home

They’re quite similar, both featuring French café scenes, but were produced by different makers – namely Ridgway and Alfred Meakin.

The illustrations are gorgeous – café society, stylish ladies and gentlemen, parasols, hats… and poodles!
