Sovereign Potters Sun Burst Wheat Plates Set of 5, 10”

Offered is a set of five (5) vintage Canadian dinner plates by Sovereign Potters, in the sought-after “Sun Burst” pattern (marked 1315-57). Each plate presents a warm buttery-ivory glaze with a beautifully balanced stylized wheat/sheaf motif in honey-gold, caramel, and umber tones—classic mid-century Canadian tableware with a clean, modern silhouette and an elegant, harvest-inspired graphic. This is exactly the kind of pattern collectors look for: period-correct MCM color, tasteful motif scale, and a distinctly Canadian backstamp featuring the maple leaf and “Made in Canada.” ⸻ Maker / Origin / Date (researched) Maker: Sovereign Potters Limited Origin: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada  Company background (collector context): • Sovereign Potters was formed in 1933 and became one of Canada’s major tableware manufacturers, with wartime production and a significant postwar output.  • The company was purchased/affiliated with Johnson Brothers (Hanley) Ltd. in 1947; later production often involved imported blanks decorated locally in Canada, which is consistent with many Sovereign backstamps and pattern practices.  Pattern / dating note: The mark includes “1315-57.” There isn’t a definitive public reference tying this exact code to a calendar year, but “-57” strongly suggests a 1957 pattern or production reference, which would place these confidently in the mid-1950s MCM era (the styling supports this). This is presented as a best-supported estimate, not a guaranteed factory-documented date. ⸻ Materials & technique (how it was made) • Glazed ceramic tableware with fired decoration (the motif appears consistent with transfer/decal application with soft shading effects, then kiln-fired under/into the glaze depending on the production run). • Post-1947 Sovereign production commonly involved decorating blanks locally in Canada, aligning with the piece’s Canadian backstamp and the firm’s documented operations.  ⸻ Style / Decor keywords Mid-Century Modern (MCM), Atomic Age, Ranch / Retro Kitchen, Scandinavian Modern-adjacent, Harvest / Wheat motif, Golden neutrals, Canadian pottery, Johnson Bros era, Fall entertaining, cottage-to-modern mix.
