JUST REDUCED!
By any other name it looks this good. What a fabulous antique porcelain oyster plate from Haviland (H & Co.)! The wonderfully delicate translucent porcelain and the fine design and decoration blend beautifully. The five oyster-shaped wells, with their hand painted muscle scars, are overlaid with a bounty of bright red roses and blue forget-me-nots; stunning! This is the Haviland floral to compare to any.

| The underglaze mark predates 1891 and the importers mark, made for Warren & Wood, Providence, RI, adds special additional character. This plate comes from the same mold as two plates featured by Jeffery B. Snyder (on p. 60 his book Collecting Oyster Plates), with indicated values in excess of $1,000. This beautiful and unique piece, in perfect condition, would make a worthy to addition to the most magnificent oyster plate magnificent collection. |
