Ford & Sons are one of my favourite manufacturers of English dinner ware in patterns which really stand the test of time.
These Boston pattern 10.5-inch dinner plates, with their wide English rims and almost art and crafts style decoration could have been produced much later and fit really well with modern table decoration trends. There is little looking at them which gives away the fact they could be pushing 140 years old. this quality simply is not being produced any more, and puts modern ironstone to shame.
