This is a Dudson Armorlite Heath range hotel ware plate made in England. It has a datemark for July 1976. Dudson is a British company that manufactured tableware, glassware and porcelain, in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. It is one of the oldest brands of its industry in England, founded in Hanley by Richard Dudson in 1800. In its early years it produced a variety of domestic ware. In the 1880s James Thomas Dudson, great-grandson of the founder, identified a need to serve the hospitality market, with the increase in travel created by the railways. Major changes were made to production and by 1891 the company, concentrating on this market, produced a particularly strong type of vitrified china. The company continued on through both world wars, providing catering ware to the British and Australian armies as well as plain ware for the domestic market. They have been acknowledged as the longest running privately owned family business in the UK tableware industry. The Dudson Group acquired the J E Heath Ltd pottery works in 1938 and incorporated the company as Dudson Armorlite. Some of the trademarks they used included the name J E Heath. Dudson Armorlite was dissolved in 1996. The Dudson Group went into administration in 2019 due to a decrease in sales and increased costs. The pottery company Churchill China bought the rights to the brand and two of its most popular ranges, Harvest and Evo, in 2019 and relaunched the Dudson brand with these two pattern collections that were already in stock.

I am very happy to combine postage for multiple purchases - please contact me before paying for multiple items so that I can provide a revised invoice. I do not require immediate payment on Buy It Now listings. Ebay does not automatically calculate combined postage. I will do my best to save you some $$$! However, some items are just too big and fragile to be sent combined - please ask what options I can offer before bidding. Please request a combined invoice from me directly before paying, otherwise your items will be sent separately.  Please do not select Local Pickup to avoid paying postage costs if you wish to combine postage with another item already purchased - this will result in cancellation of your order.
