Plichta wares were produced by the Bovey Tracey Pottery in Devon, England. Wemyss Ware, a renowned Scottish pottery trademark, originated in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in 1882 by Robert Heron, the pottery owner, and Karel Nekola, a skilled decorator from Bohemia. In the 1930s, the rights to produce Wemyss Ware were acquired by Bovey Tracey Pottery in Devon, England, who employed Joseph Nekola, Karel's son. At The Bovey Tracey Potteries, some items bearing the Plichta stamp were created by Wemyss Ware decorators, causing later confusion in identifying the pottery. Distinguishing between Wemyss pottery from Fife and that crafted by Bovey experts often relies on subtle variations in color.
