We don’t do much charity shop trawling these days, but there’s one right next door to our local Post Office – so we always have a look through the window when we send parcels. Every now and then, something catches our eye which was the case today with these lovely orange tea trios.
They were made by Staffordshire Potteries Ltd in the 1960s/70s and are typical of the type of wares produced by the company during this era.
We’ve come across storage jars, mugs, soup bowls, plates and tea sets in the past – colourful and fun would sum them up.
We’ve handled lots of their stuff over the years and it always proves popular in our shop.
Artists such as Elayne Fallon were responsible for the vibrant designs.
The pottery is not only attractive, but very robust too – so perfect for heavy use in the kitchen , dining room, garden or camp site.
