The Story
This dramatic display plate is a rare find from Myott, Son & Co., one of the famous Staffordshire potteries. Dating from approximately the 1940s, it features the "Bermuda" pattern: a bold, deep brown transfer-printed "cabbage rose" motif. What makes this piece particularly striking is the delicate hand-over-painting in shades of butter yellow, vivid green, and ruby red, which brings a three-dimensional vibrancy to the dark brown base.
The Details
Era: Circa 1940s.
Maker: Myott, Son & Co., Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Pattern: Bermuda.
Dimensions: 23cm (9") Diameter.
Condition: Immaculate vintage condition. It shows no visible signs of wear or use, though it does have uniform age-related surface glaze character on the back face only.
Why It’s Special
The rarity of this pattern is tied to a dramatic piece of history: it is believed that "Bermuda" was discontinued early after a fire broke out at Myott's Alexander Works factory, destroying many of the moulds and patterns. Collectors prize Myott pieces from this era for their bold use of colour and "Art Deco-meets-Country" aesthetic. The combination of the heavy brown transfer and hand-tinted florals gives it a rich, autumnal feel.
Styling Tips
The Dramatic Wall Plate: Its 9-inch diameter and high-contrast pattern make it a perfect candidate for a wall display. Hang it centrally in a collection of simpler plates to act as a focal point.
Farmhouse Chic: This plate would look right at home on a dark wood dresser or a rustic farmhouse kitchen shelf. Pair it with copper pans or wooden boards to lean into its earthy tones.
