Hi guys, hope you've all had a lovely week. Today I want to share with you these fabulous retro plates from cheese specialists, Paxton & Whitfield. Inspired by milk bottle caps from the 1920s to the 1950s, these plates carry the advertisements for individual dairies of the time. My fave has to be the green 'bottled health' advert, what a great way to promote milk!
In the 1940s when groceries were in short supply, Paxton & Whitfield changed from an artisan cheese shop into a grocers and therefore would stock everyday foods, including milk, which had bottle caps similar to the iconic designs on these plates.
The plates are 16.5cm in diameter and come in the four colours seen above. They are also presented in a cool hatbox so would make a perfect gift too. They are £25 for the set and available in-store or online at Paxton & Whitfield.
