What are harebells you ask? In Scotland, bluebells are called harebells because they were believed to attract hares. Traditionally, they symbolize humility, gratitude, and everlasting love. Now that we have that out of the way…
Delightful set of six classic English Shelley “Harebell” salad plates, featuring a fine transfer print of airy floral sprays of blue harebells intertwined with bright green foliage, finished with a hand-painted blue rim. These 8" plates are in the graceful Oleander shape, known for its softly scalloped edge and radiating fluted panels.
Crafted in fine English bone china, this set of six Shelley Harebell salad plates dates to the post-war years, circa 1945–1966. All are factory marked “Fine Bone China / Shelley / England,” with a mix of handwritten and printed Harebell pattern identifiers—an authentic and well-documented variation typical of Shelley’s mid-century production.
Lovely for display in an open-shelf kitchen, singley or layered into a vintage blue-and-white china stack, and for breakfast or light luncheon service, including a traditional English breakfast, allowing the floral border to remain fully visible.
