The Story
This charming pair of 1950s cake serving plates was produced by Woods and Son in Stoke-on-Trent. Featuring the scarcely found ‘Olivia’ pattern, they combine a black graphic transfer-printed motif with a cheerful, hand-painted floral center. The bright teal-green scalloped edging and classic tabbed handles give them a quintessential Mid-Century feel that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary tableware.
The Details
Set Includes: Two matching vintage serving plates.
Dimensions: 24.5cm W (including handles) / 22.5cm diameter.
Maker: Woods and Son, Staffordshire, England.
Pattern: Olivia.
Era: Circa 1950s.
Condition: Immaculate vintage condition; seemingly unused and free from any signs of wear, damage, or crazing.
Why They’re Special
Woods and Son are celebrated for their high-quality earthenware, and the 'Olivia' pattern is a fantastic example of the optimistic post-war aesthetic. The combination of hand-painted details and the bold, modern teal-and-black colorway makes these plates feel surprisingly fresh. Their "tabbed" handles were a popular 1950s design feature, making them easy to carry from kitchen to table during a busy afternoon tea.
Styling Tips
The Perfect Afternoon Tea: These plates are ideal for serving a selection of small cakes, macarons, or scones. The teal-green accents pop beautifully against a crisp white tablecloth or a rustic wooden table.
Eclectic Mix-and-Match: Because of their black graphic elements, they pair wonderfully with more modern, monochrome tableware. Use them as "chargers" under smaller white plates to add a vintage layer to a contemporary dinner setting.
Wall Gallery: If you aren’t using them for dining, these plates are perfect for a kitchen plate wall. Their matching nature provides symmetry, and the bright floral centers add a splash of vintage color to a neutral wall.
