Birmingham Thousand Trades & Seventeen Thousand Roadworks Vintage Plate

“Birmingham a city of a thousand trades and seventeen thousand roadworks”

A loving tribute to Birmingham’s proud industrial heritage and its equally impressive commitment to putting cones absolutely everywhere. A city of invention, manufacture, jewellery, metalwork and the apparently eternal quest to dig up whichever road you were planning to use.

Perfect for Brummies, commuters, permanently rerouted motorists, roadworks survivors and anyone who has ever attempted to cross Birmingham and accidentally discovered three new neighbourhoods. Civic pride, but with temporary traffic lights.

Please note
Every plate is genuine vintage or pre-loved china, chosen individually and given a thoroughly less respectable second life. Because these pieces have existed in the world before arriving at The Crackpottery, you may find signs of age and use including light surface or utensil marks, crazing, tiny glaze imperfections, small manufacturing marks, fading or wear to gilding and decoration. These are part of the character of vintage china rather than faults, and the photographs form part of the description, so please have a good look at the actual plate you are buying.

Any vintage imperfections are purely cosmetic and should not require a diversion, temporary lights or a six-month lane closure.
