Drostdy Ware

[wilmasorphans]

I am looking for information about 2 plates of Drotsdy Ware hand painted by France Marot, pix attached.
I believe they came into my parents possession in the 1950's.
Any information would be appreciated.

Hi,
What lovely plates you have. They date post 1955. Here is a site with much history on Drostdy pottery from the Drostdy Museum.

Drostdy Museum

This site mentions how Frace Marot was recruited from a local college, and eventually became the head of Drostdy pottery Design and Arts Department.

Check the Worthopedia, as there are several pieces there by Marot.

Hope that this is helpful.
