Colclough "Wayside"

Colclough Wayside is a charming floral bone china pattern from Colclough, recorded as pattern number 8581. It appears to date from the mid 20th century and is typical of the light, decorative floral designs popular on English tea and dinner wares of the period.

The design features a spray of countryside flowers in pink, purple and yellow tones, with soft green leaves and trailing stems. The floral decoration is usually placed inside the bowl or around the border of plates, while the fine gold edging gives the pieces a traditional, elegant finish.

Colclough was well known for producing accessible English bone china tableware and tea sets, often with pretty floral designs suited to both everyday use and special occasions. Wayside has that classic Colclough feel, decorative without being too formal, and easy to mix into a vintage china collection.

For many customers, Wayside is a pattern they are trying to keep in use rather than simply collect. As a discontinued Colclough design, it is often sought out by those looking to replace a broken bowl, find a missing plate, or add useful serving pieces to an existing set.

Availability depends entirely on what becomes available through the pre-loved market. As with many vintage floral bone china patterns, pieces may vary slightly in tone, backstamp and gold detail depending on production period and use over time.
