A beautiful and large Blue Willow 12” round plate by Royal China Company. This is American blue willow at its best as the Royal Company started producing it in 1948 and soon became the world's largest manufacturer of blue willow!
Fun fact: the original founders were Beatrice Miller, William H. Habenstreit and John Bert Briggs. Miss Miller went to the bank with the proposal to purchase the building, but was turned away, as a woman in manufacturing was practically unheard of at that time. Mr. Habenstreit went to the same bank with the same proposal and had a warm reception. HA!
This is a platter that's been loved and enjoyed! There is browning around the rim and a couple of chips under rim but to me, an antique lover, these signs of aging are incredibly amazing and just add to the beauty of this piece.
- 12" diameter
- Made in the US (Sebring, Ohio to be exact) sometime after 1948
- This is still great for serving your scrumptious good but will also look amazing on your wall
