BOOTHS - Ming

There are two Booths patterns that bear this name, one plain blue & white, the other coloured. Superficially they may seem similar, as they both depict oriental landscapes with figures, buildings, trees and boats of varying sizes.

However, the transfers used for the two patterns are completely different, as are the decorative borders. Both versions are hard to find and much prized by Booths connoisseurs.

All the items shown below are the BLUE & WHITE version. This can occasionally be found with gold on the rims, as in the detail opposite. For comparison, this shows a MING plate next to a Wood & Sons BUDDHA plate, also with a gold edge. To view more of this remarkably similar Frederick Rhead design, please click here.
