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.

Thank you Audra...i emailed the museum and sent the pix asking for more background information.
i will now check the worthopedia as you suggested.
