Grindley “Cromer” brewery plate

Description

Step back into Britain’s brewing heritage with this rare Grindley “Cromer” brewery plate, produced exclusively for The Birkenhead Brewery Company Ltd. Made in England by Grindley, one of Staffordshire’s most respected potteries. This piece exemplifies early 20th-century utility ware, likely dating from the 1920s–1930s.

The design is refined yet graphic: a crisp black transfer print circles the plate, interspersed with stylised neoclassical motifs and a central brewery crest reading “The Birkenhead Brewery Company Limited” — featuring barley and hops imagery. The pattern name “Cromer” and maker’s mark “Grindley Made in England” are stamped on the reverse, confirming its authenticity.

This plate would have originally served in pubs or brewery taprooms, where form met function in durable yet beautifully designed ceramics. A perfect addition for collectors of breweriana, English pottery, or Art Deco era tableware, it also works as a standout piece for interior decor or retail display.
