Great condition for age, nice find Ted
Thanks, Jenni....it is a nice piece, despite some of the glaze being scuffed from its surface. Such restaurant ware appeals to me. I had a nice collection at one time, but had to dispose of most of it due to a change of my residence.
This piece has both aesthetic and sentimental value, as it was rescued from a sale at at a bar/restaurant where I had enjoyed many a happy hour.
Most of the dinnerware that I use comes from auctions or sales, and I especially appreciate the products of the gone now USA pottery makers...Buffalo China, Syracuse China, Shenango etc. Durable, well made, aesthetic and often nostalgic items.....
Thanking each of you for your love of this platter.... !!!!
How did I miss this showing? I enjoy my own assortment of 'restaurant ware' as you do Ted -- nothing like plates and bowls that can easily withstand an accidental drop into the sink or onto the floor -- and I also agree it often looks great, too!! :-) :-) :-)
Hi, AO.....I concur with you wholeheartedly! Collecting these items is a great hobby, and practical, too, as such pieces add a lot to food is served on them :)
