Vintage From Paul is delighted to offer these retro and classic Bread and Butter Plates from the Potteries of Max Weil in the Bambu Yellow pattern.

The Bambu Dinnerware line, as created by Max Weil, came in yellow, coral or aqua with hand painted stalks of bamboo in black or a deep brown. The dinnerware was promoted in a 1942 magazine as the height of fashion. The pattern later developed into Malay Bambu which is similar in design, with the stalks of the bamboo having green leaves. Max Weil operated his potteries in the Los Angeles California area during the 1940's. He later chose to leave the pottery/dinnerware business and concentrate his design efforts in Weil Ceramics and Glass, responsible for many lovely head vases, and other items.

Each of the available Weil Ware Bambu Yellow Bread & Butter Plates is in excellent condition. The plates have no wear to the design...the colors are bright, the graphics crisp. Three of the seven available plates have a very light crazing. As is common with this type of California clay pottery there is very light, almost imperceptible crazing, which is visible only upon very close ( and we mean very close!) inspection.

The Weil Ware Bambu Yellow Bread & Butter Plates measure 9-9/16 inches in diameter.The bread and butter plates are marked with the Weil Burro and "Hand Decorated Weil Ware, Made in California, Des. Pat. 14960.6"

These Weil Ware Bambu Yellow Bread & Butter Plateswould be a welcomed addition to any collection of "Bamboo" , Weil Potteries or California Pottery collection.
