Circa: 1958
Manufacturer: Stangl Pottery
Neat find out of a home. This is a round 8 inch diameter dessert or luncheon plate made by Stangl Pottery in their Tiger Lily pattern. It is fully marked on the backside with the brown oval "Stangl Pottery, Trenton, N.J." mark with the pattern name "Tiger Lily" below and the Roman numerals "VIII" above this. The plate has a lower rim on which it sits and bows or curves upwards from this base, so that it sits on a table at about 7/8 inch in height.

According to some internet research and the book, Collector's Encyclopedia of Stangl Pottery, by Robert C. Runge, Jr., Stangl Pottery manufactured pieces from 1929 to 1978. During the 1950s (and up until 1960) the company used either slashes or Roman numerals on their pieces to indicate the year of manufacture. The Roman numeral VIII or 8 on this plate indicates that this piece was made in 1958. The Tiger Lily pattern was hand-carved hand painted dinnerware pattern #3965 for Stangl (this pattern number does not appear on the plate itself). The designer of this pattern was Kay Hackett, who based it on a wildflower from New Jersey, the Turk's Cap lily. The pattern was only manufactured from 1957 until 1962.

We've provided 8 images including close-ups of the design and manufacturer marking. Please note that the camera lighting causes white "hot spot" reflections on the glossy surfaces and makes the white base color seem ultra white. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely. This is a sturdy piece of pottery, weighing over 13 ounces unpacked. We originally had two similar plates in this pattern and shot images of just one of them, the other plate has sold.

While this plate has a great overall look with no major chips, cracks, etc., it is not mint and does show some age, use and/or storage wear, as expected. If you hold the plate at an angle in very bright light you will see many topside scratch dots and scratch lines of varying sizes (none overly long), in both the painted and white areas. You likely won't see these with the plate on display nor sitting on a table in normal light, but you need to know these are there. There is also some paint wear to some of the brown painted lines (with portions of some lines missing) and a few pin/pit dots in the pottery, with likely other general usual wear.

Would make a nice addition to display with any collection of Stangl Pottery or could be used as part of a dinnerware set of Tiger Lily or a mixed set of multiple Stangl pattern pieces.
