I know it's a longshot, but does anyone happen to have a spare dinner plate the same as this one? I'm missing one from the set. I've had an eBay search running for ages but none have popped up yet. #wanted #DinnerPlate #plate #crockery

Update: I'm looking for a dinner plate, not the small side plate that's currently on eBay with 3 bowls and a mug.

I really appreciate all your comments and shares. No need for you to search anywhere for me though thanks. I'm sure one will turn up one day. 😊

@druid

Is there a producer name on the back, perhaps?

@GustavinoBevilacqua Unfortunately not. It only says "Staffordshire Tablewear England".

@druid @GustavinoBevilacquaStaffordshire Tableware“ was a manufacturer. Which makes googling hard.

(credentials: I’m from Staffordshire)

@uoou @GustavinoBevilacqua Ah! Good find. I didn't realise that was actually the manufacturer name. Thank you. 😊
@druid This one shows up for me - more than just 1 plate, but better than nothing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296119210421

@siaronj Thank you. I've seen this one. It's just a small side-plate though. I'm after a dinner plate.
@druid I've had a trawl over the web but haven't come up with anything yet but I'll keep my eyes open on there and also next time I'm at any charity shops or car-boot sales.
@siaronj That's very kind of you. Thank you. 😊
@siaronj @druid Have you tried this place?

@JaneinNJ @siaronj @druid +1 for replacements.com - that’s a great recommendation, I’ve replaced missing pieces using them
@druid nasty....burn it!!! 😄😄😄
@MikeInTheGarden Noooo! These are lovely plates and, usually, very strong too (apart from the one my mother dropped. I'm sure she must have dropped it from a great height!).
@druid My Gran used to have a full set of these, seeing that brings back memories of Wolverhampton. 🤔 (No idea where the set is now)
@aegir My mother bought these in 1994 and they're still like new, despite being used constantly. Things don't seem to last as well now.
@druid They don’t, no. The only new stuff that seems solid is the Corelle glass dinnerware, unusual for an American product nowadays! I’ve built up a set of Washington Pottery check/harlequin, my other grandma had a full set with each place set in a different colour, though most of mine is blue. Must have been popular.
@aegir That's nice. I don't think I've seen that before. I've noticed quite a few mentions lately of how good Corelle is.
@druid Corelle is pretty good, a flatmate at uni had some (so long ago) and he dropped a plate and it bounced on its edge and he caught it! It’s tough! When it does break it goes off like a firework though.
@druid I don’t, but I’ve bought some stuff for my set from Chinasearch and got excellent service from them.
@ygathgoch I haven't heard of that before. Thank you.
@druid Have you tried sites like replacements.com or missingpieces.com ? They have thousands of patterns and you can buy a single plate, bowl, teacup, etc.
@sarahscully Thank you. I didn't realise such websites existed until today. 😊

@druid

@sarahscully
Beat me to it but replacements.com is brilliant. Based in the US but always comes through. We had a set from the 80s (don't judge) and over time a piece would crack/get broken. They always could find a piece

@druid retooting on the off chance. Fascinating thread, who knew?

@druid whoops, I'll keep looking. What's the size of the plate you are looking for?
@druid Broke them all intentionally in 1972, didn’t like them then don’t like them now
@druid
Try google lens, there seem to be a few pictures on ebay but also elsewhere. If not ATloujnicholls is a gardner but has s passion for vintage crock, outside chance probs.

@druid

Such pretty plates…I wish you luck with your search 🤞

Sorry to hijack your thread, @druid, but if anyone’s interested, I have my late mother’s wedding (third marriage) gift china (Wedgwood Adelphi from 1973) that was used less than a dozen times and never went through the dishwasher.

I hate it, but I have no idea what to do with it 🫣

@TCMuffin
That's great stuff! If you join your local buy nothing group on Facebook or will go in a flash
@druid
@TCMuffin Thank you. Wow, that's an impressive set. The gold rims are nice and, like you said, look perfect. I hope you find someone that will treasure them.
@druid @madgeface About 6 years ago I replaced a whole set of my favorite plates that were lost in a move by looking at Replacements.com. It was already a discontinued set and they had it. Actually they still have more to this day. Perhaps you could get lucky there? They have a ton of stuff so it’s a bit tough to search by pattern. It narrows a lot if you can search by brand. Good luck! (I didn’t read the whole thread so I don’t know if others already suggested this)
