Broadhurst ‘Kontiki’ plate, made in England 1965
Kelston Ceramics plate, made in New Zealand, 1964
Repurposing vintage plates as wall decorations; these two beauties from the mid-60s complement each other so well.
The plate on the left is a Kathie Winkle Design ‘Kontiki’ [very collectible right now]- it has a handpainted underglaze [the pattern] but is detergent and dishwasher proof. The plate on the right is Kelston, which was part of Crown Lynn- these plates are now also very collectible.
Imagine a whole wall of funky 60s plates…if they were easily detachable you could store your entire dinner service in this way! Form AND function- the ultimate 60s ideal.
Start your wall plate collection with these two- they are for sale: $AUD25
re:retro 
My like refers to the left plate 🙂
noted. how about that raccoon- does he squeeze into the ‘like’ too?
Err, well, em, not really 🙂 Such stuff is known as “Staubfänger” in German, a term that means “dust gatherer”. They are standing in the bookshel for the purpose of collecting the dust out of the air 🙂
ha! thought you might say that!
