Pomona Bread and Butter Plates

Pomona was launched in 1982, with pictures from the English Pomological Magazine from the early 1800s.

They are hand-coloured engravings with very vivid colours.

The motifs on these six 7 inch plates are: Grimwoods Ruyal George, the Ingestrie Pippin, the Hazel Nut, Wilmots Early Red,  L’Imperatrice Plum and the White Dutch Currant.

The White Dutch Currant was later replaced by the Red Currant, the image looks mirrored, the currants are now red:

The blue L Imperatrice Plum was replaced by the Reine Claude Plum:

The Biggeraux Cherry looked unripe and was therefore replaced by the Late Duke Cherry.

I have two different Hazel Nut bowls, one motif is much larger than the other:

Also one bowl has the leaf border, the other is borderless:

I am still hunting for more different motifs.
