Bartone bakelite picnic plates
made in Australia, c.1940s
This picnic set is a delightful mottled green colour- you might remember me posting another Bartone set that is mottled orangey-brown. Bartone specialised in producing picnic ware, often with this mottley shading, and the pieces all have catalogued numbers and a map of Australia cast on the underside. The large plates are Cat No B164, the small plates B165.
This set of plates is in remarkable condition for its vintage, and would make for a great retro picnic!
For sale: $AUD75
