Strange UK Tiki dishes

Anyone have any info on these dishes?

Was there a full dinner service available?

I won this on eBay recently.

From what information i can gather, Metallised Bone China was mainly manufactured as Hotel & Restaurant Ware...

Could this have been produced for use in the Beachcomber?

Didya win Pikey?

"Just 6" x 3 1/2" this dish bears a WEDGWOOD mark with the PORTLAND vase above. Also reads METALLISED BONE CHINA - Made in England - 2BS 80 4034. I must admist I cannot find a name for this deisgn - looks AZTEC or Maori to me - perhaps you can help? In MINT condition - I have 4 of these if you are interested. I will combine postage. Payment PAYPAL, £ cheque UK or Postal Order"

Yes siree.

Those are from the Beachcomber and complete the rare plate, mug, swizzle set for number 11 on Bora Boris' list. Great find!

When I have them in my hands I'll decide if I want to trade - I need to make sure I get one for my collection first!

Nice one. That's a good find.

You lucky Bar-steward!

3 mugs and now 2 dishes it's proving to be quite the year for Beachcomber finds.

Well all four have arrived safe and sound, so I now have three available for trades.
