plate made in Castleford, Yorkshire, England
Unglazed dinner plate with a design of a crown commemorating King George VI sketched out by E.M. Kelly, aged 13. It has never been painted and glazed. Evening classes for amateurs to paint pottery began in Castleford about 1920 and went on until the 1950s. The pottery was made at Clokie and Co. Ltd. and after painting it was returned to the pottery for its gloss firing.
