Lovely 1979 Fitz and Floyd Deco Peacock Dessert Plates Four nifty identical vintage china pieces made by Fitz and Floyd, Japan (Fitz & Floyd) in 1979 as marked on backside, sold individually. These are round plates, dessert plate size with a diameter of 7 1/2 inches, sitting about 5/8 inch in height. Marvelous topside decor of a bird or peacock done in an art deco style with the bird in black & white, set against a two tone brown color background. Fully marked on backside with pattern name, "Deco Peacock", followed by "Fitz and Floyd, Inc.", then the manufacturing date in Roman Numerals (MCMLXXIX), followed by "Japan". Under this appears "FF 79".

We've provided 4 images of one plate to show close-ups of the bird and the manufacturer marking. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the high gloss surface. Also, the camera lighting distorts the lighter brown tone a bit. The darker brown coloring on the left side of the plate is a rich medium chocolate brown similar to what appears in the images. But the brown color on the right side of the plate appears somewhat tan in the images, when in person it looks much richer, more like a dark sand or sienna color brown?...we're not sure how to describe this color. We're sorry that the camera doesn't show the true color here but please understand that the plates look even better and more intense colored in person than appears in the images. Each plate weighs about 10 ounces unpacked, so the shipping package for just one plate will likely weigh over one pound packed.

Excellent overall condition, with no chips, cracks, or crazing. Two of the plates are as close to "like new" as we've seen on china pieces, with no scratches or major flaws, looking unused to us. On very, very close inspection at an angle in bright light there may be a touch of topside wear on these two from plates sitting in a stack for years, but we don't see any scratches or the usual kind of use that one sees with something that was used. The other two plates do have light topside scratches, one of them having more than the other, which you only see when looking at an angle in very bright light; no one would notice these sitting on a table or on display as we missed seeing them at first. While these two then were used, they are still not bad, and still very attractive and usable.

Terrific older pieces which will draw attention on display or hanging on a wall. Would certainly be a great addition for use in a set of these neat dishes. Would also make a nice addition to a collection related to birds in general or peacocks in specific, or a great present for a peacock collector. Priced each.  

Stangl Pottery Amber Glo/Amber-Glo Dinner Plate Retro 1950's ceramic pottery piece, a dinner plate made by Stangl Pottery in their Amber-Glo (Amber Glo) pattern. To us this pattern has a look which reminds us of the American Indian with its brown feathers or brown leaves along with gray and yellow tear-drop forms with other light brown dots and wavy brown lines inbetween and encasing part of the decoration. The base plate background color is white or ivory, with a medium-colored chocolate brown along the outer rim and on the underside of the plate. Round plate measures about 10 1/8 inches in diameter and sits about 3/4 inch in height. Fully marked on backside with printed oval Stangl mark stating "Stangl Pottery, Trenton, N.J." with the pattern name "Amber-Glo" printed underneath. There are also two painted letters which may be the initials of the person who did the hand painted coloring on this piece, perhaps these letters are "Ey"?

We've provided 8 images to include several close-ups of the topside pattern and condition, as well as the manufacturer mark. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the glossy surface. As you can see in the images, there are a number of light brown circular stains on the topside of the plate which are noticeable. The topside surface also has many, many small scratches, rubbed areas and other surface wear (this may not be apparent in the images but is definitely there). This is a vintage plate which someone enjoyed using! While not noticeable from the top or on display, along the outer rim of the plate and along the backside rim there are a number of small surface chips and flakes, including one larger chip along the backside rim measuring about 5/8 inch in width. The backside also has scratches and age wear to the underside base rim on which the plate sits. There are no cracks or crazing, but please understand that this old piece while having a neat pattern clearly has flaws which you will see in person on inspection.

Still would look nice hanging in a room on display at a distance, particularly in a kitchen hanging along a higher border for a neat pattern design look as people often do with plates. Could also be used as an extra plate for serving food as part of a set.  

Southern Potteries, Blue Ridge Pottery, Yellow Mayflower Dinner Plate #11B Southern Potteries, Inc. Blue Ridge Pottery ceramic dinner plate in their Mayflower pattern in the yellow color. Round plate measuring 9 1/2 inches in diameter and sitting 3/4 inch in height. Fully marked on underside base with the black printed circular mark including a graphic of mountains and a pine tree stating "Hand Painted-Underglaze, Blue Ridge, Made in U.S.A., Southern Potteries, Inc." with what we believe is a piece designator underneath, "11B".

We've provided 5 images including close-ups of the painted flowers and the manufacturer marking. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the high gloss surface. While the plate looks fine on display and just seated on a table, on close inspection in bright light you will see that topside there are many, many small and medium sized surface scratches and rubbed marks as this vintage item was clearly used. This old piece, however, has no chips, cracks or crazing. There are some other pin/pit dots, tiny black and wear dots/spots, etc., general use, and some scratches on the underside.

Still usuable as an extra dinner plate with your existing set, or adding nice color in a country setting hanging on display on a wall or in a cabinet.  

Liberty Blue China Old North Church Teacup Saucers Only Lovely Liberty Blue China Teacup Saucers, sold individually. We have only these saucers, not the tea cups which would have been placed on them. Each saucer measures about 5 11/16 inches in diameter and sits about 3/4 inch in height. Basically round with just a little flatening to the side rims to simulate the 12 sided nature of the other pieces (see other Liberty Blue listings). While there are some very slight color differences among the saucers as is often seen with manufactured items, all are basically a medium dark blue coloring on a base white china which is ironstone. Please note that other pieces in this pattern/set are labelled on the backsides as Staffordshire Ironstone. These pieces do not have that labeling (likely due to their smaller size and corresponding smaller backside surface area) but are presumed made of the same ironstone as the other items in this pattern.

These were produced as part of a set of china showing different colonial scenes at the center of the various pieces, surrounded by a floral graphic. The saucers are all identical, showing the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts, with the church identified on the backside of all of the saucers. From a bit of research, we believe these were made in the 1970's to commemorate the bicentennial, and may have been given away by A&P Grocery Stores. Some sites reference that this pattern was produced by Enoch Wedgwood, but the pieces are not marked with this so we don't know that for certain.

All marked on reverse side with "Liberty Blue, Historic Colonial Scenes, Old North Church, Made in England" within an eagle insignia. We have provided 6 images showing close-ups and the marking on the reverse side. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the glossy surface. The lighting also lightens the blue coloring a bit. In person it is a true medium blue tending towards a navy blue coloring, although the coloring does go lighter and darker within the graphic on the piece.

All saucers are in wonderful overall condition, with no major chips or cracks. Most of the saucers also have no crazing; one saucer is crazed with large line crazing. While purchased from a home where they had been used by the owner's former relative, the use flaws are minimal and do not detract from their great look. There are some topside slight surface scratches (the amount varies by saucer with some having no/almost no scratches, overall nothing bad or unusual, and only seen when looked at closely at an angle in bright light). There are stray blue transfer dots on the topside and in some cases, stray blue transfer lines, as well as some raised pottery dots, pin and pit dots. On the backsides, while this varies by piece, there is also some stray blue dots from the transfer process, pin/pit manufacturing dots, surface scratches, slight glazing flaws, and some slight expected wear to the underside base rims on which they sit. Two saucers have a bit of light brown or orange spot or line stains (but none of this on the topside).

Very attractive and very usable pieces to add to your current set or start a new one. Please see our other listings for other pieces of this pattern. Could also be hung on a wall or displayed in a cabinet as part of a colonial decorative motif.  

Liberty Blue China Betsy Ross Fruit Bowls, Berry, Dessert, Sauce Very pretty Liberty Blue China Fruit Bowls, sold individually.

Basically round with 12 slightly flatened sides to rim. While there are some very slight color differences among the bowls as is often seen with manufactured items, all are basically a medium dark blue coloring on a base white china which is ironstone.

These were produced as part of a set of china showing different colonial scenes at the center of the various pieces, surrounded by a floral graphic. The fruit bowls are all identical, showing Betsy Ross showing her colonial flag to some gentlemen in a room (possibly her home), with her name identified on the backside of all of the bowls. From a bit of research, we believe these were made in the 1970's to commemorate the bicentennial, and may have been given away by A&P Grocery Stores. Some sites reference that this pattern was produced by Enoch Wedgwood, but the pieces are not marked with this so we don't know that for certain.

One bowl on the topside has a tiny brown dot in the upper part of the central graphic. On the backsides, while this varies by piece, there is also some stray blue from the transfer process, pin/pit manufacturing dots, surface scratches, slight glazing flaws, and some slight expected wear to the underside base rims on which they sit.

Liberty Blue China Monticello Bread & Butter Plates, England Staffordshire Ironstone Lovely Liberty Blue China Bread & Butter Plates, sold individually. Some people also refer to these as small side plates or sometimes small dessert plates, but in general the dessert plates we see are usually a bit larger.

While there are some very slight color differences among the plates as is often seen with manufactured items, all are basically a medium dark blue coloring on a base white china which is ironstone.

These were produced as part of a set of china showing different colonial scenes at the center of the various pieces, surrounded by a floral graphic. The bread & butter plates (b&b plates, b and b plates) are all identical, showing Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia, with the location identified on the backside of all of the plates. From a bit of research, we believe these were made in the 1970's to commemorate the bicentennial, and may have been given away by A&P Grocery Stores. Some sites reference that this pattern was produced by Enoch Wedgwood, but the pieces are not marked with this so we don't know that for certain.

Liberty Blue China Independence Hall Dinner Plates, England Staffordshire Ironstone Lovely Liberty Blue China Dinner Plates, sold individually. Each measures about 10 inches in diameter and sits about 1 inch in height. Basically round with 12 flatened sides to rim. While there are some very slight color differences among the plates as is often seen with manufactured items, all are basically a medium dark blue coloring on a base white china which is ironstone.

These were produced as part of a set of china showing different colonial scenes at the center of the various pieces, surrounded by a floral graphic. The dinner plates are all identical, showing Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with the location identified on the backside of most of the plates (perhaps this didn't transfer on a few of them; on one plate instead of Independence Hall most of the word "Church" shows which must be an error in transfering as Old North Church appears on a different piece in the set). From a bit of research, we believe these were made in the 1970's to commemorate the bicentennial, and may have been given away by A&P Grocery Stores. Some sites reference that this pattern was produced by Enoch Wedgwood, but the pieces are not marked with this so we don't know that for certain.
