Soho Pottery Sponge Ware Oriental “Peel” Pattern Solian Ware England

This difficult to find plate features an Oriental inspired blue urn and floral center motif bordered by a wide outer band of colbalt blue in a sponge ware or spatter ware pattern. (Later versions of the `PEEL' pattern featured a lattice patterned border.)

The clear black back mark reads, ""PEEL" Solian Ware, SOHO POTTERY LTD, COBRIDGE ENGLAND, 5922". The mark dates the plate to the very early 1930's.

The 9 Inch plate is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, paint loss or other signs of wear. The back of the plate shows light crazing – the front does not.
