Did Melba Ware produce vases and wall plaques?

Melba Ware produced far more than small animal figures. The company created vases, wall plaques, planters, jugs, and decorative household ornaments aimed at the growing post-war home décor market. Wall plaques rank among the most interesting examples today, mainly bird plaques, horse heads, and rustic countryside scenes. British pottery factories expanded decorative ranges during the 1950s. Rising wages and new housing estates created stronger demand for home furnishings. Ceramic wall art gained popularity inside living rooms, hallways, and dining areas. Melba Ware joined that movement through affordable decorative plaques sold through department stores and gift shops. Collectors place high value on large undamaged wall plaques since breakage rates stayed high across past decades. Hanging holes near the back edge often chipped during household use and intact examples with strong glaze colour may reach several hundred pounds at specialist auctions. Vases from Melba Ware often carried flowing organic shapes linked with mid-century styling, as pale green and brown glazes appeared often and some examples featured hand-painted flowers or textured bark-style finishes.
