Bakelite Willow


Emma collects Bakelite. She recently dug this butter dish out from her collection to show me...She said she hadn't been able to find any reference to such a marriage of Bakelite and Willow Pattern anywhere...

The nearest reference I have found is this "Blue and white china butter dish by George Jones, Staffordshire, made especially with Art Deco oak holder with silver plated rim and silver plated butter knife. 1920s."  
Not Bakelite, then.
