This Thistle tableware was made in the pottery of A.W. Buchan in Portobello, near Edinburgh, Scotland. Many items were made in this design, which is hand-painted in the factory by the decorators. Thistleware was very popular and was exported world-wide, in particular to America. Of all the patterns made in the Buchan pottery, the thistle was probably the most well-known. Favourite above all of the later designs proved to be the Thistle pattern (never officially named) comprising a semi-stylised grouping featuring a thistle, heather, and bluebells, all on a sky blue background. This was hugely popular both at home and overseas, and was in great demand from countries with large populations of expatriate Scots, which contributed to Buchan’s prosperity in the post-War period. The goods were known as Thistle ware from 1946, the cleverly designed thistle trade mark was registered in 1949, and the works were known as the Thistle Pottery from 1955 until its closure in 1972.
