Please note the following conditions:
One plate has been repaired by staples/rivets as shown
Well over 100 years ago, a broken dish might have been brought to a ‘china mender’ whereby
holes were carefully drilled to the underside of the porcelain or earthenware and was secured using metal staples to either side of the cracks. Because of the handiwork of a 19th century restorer, this dish can still be used today! The market for staple repaired ceramics has become quite popular.
One plate has a 3 ½” hairline crack, one plate has a very small crack between the scalloped edge (difficult to see) and one plate shows some discoloration.
All other plates are in very good antique condition free of chips, cracks or repairs as well as little to no scratching.
A gorgeous antique set of dessert plates for any aesthetic or arts and crafts period collector!
