Description
MacKenzie-Childs Ceramic Bread & butter plate Brittany 1990
This handmade dish is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs earliest beginnings era when Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs owned and designed at the factory in Aurora up until 2001. Currently, this pattern and shape is not in production and has been retired for some time, so this piece is more collectible.
The bread & butter plate is 7″ diameter. Plate as early VRMC logo stamped on bottom with date 1990 stamped in clay
Bread & Butter plate is in nice vintage condition- no chips, or cracks. See photo closeup of front painting of dish you can see where some of the glaze lighter, there are tiny white dots and a pit hole on edge where during firing in the kiln a piece of clay or stick or clay piece blew out and glaze didn’t fill back into the pit. it’s not a chip- these are hand painted each one unique. Again not a defect . All part of the majolica clay process. Sweet little dish can be used as a side dish, a candy dish, a key catchall on entry table, even a soap dish. Pre-owned
The pattern Brittany sits under a windy umbrella over seaside and sand with a country French accent From The Story Behind The Patterns Brittany was part of the Taylor Series.
MacKenzie-Childs factory sits upon the Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in Upstate NY that spans 50 miles long.
ALL of my M-C items unless stated otherwise, were hand-painted and made from the period when Victoria and Richard were owners and worked at the factory.
