Rare Vintage 1950's Fine Porcelain Grindley Cream Petal Rosemary Tea Trio Cutlery Tea plate height of rim:This particular vintage pattern was designed and released by WH Grindley Co during the 1950s and discontinued in 1960. The pattern was released in the blue version as Janique, in green as Paulette and in burgundy red as Rosemary.

The Rosemary pattern is not even available on replacements. com.
