Early 20th Century Semi-Vitreous China Platter, Pink Rose & Green Lattice Pattern

Story

During the early 1900s, the American dinner table underwent a revolution as mass-production techniques allowed middle-class families to own coordinated sets of decorative china for the first time.

Maker / Origin

While the specific backstamp is not visible, this style is highly characteristic of the great American potteries of the Ohio River Valley, such as Homer Laughlin or Knowles, Taylor & Knowles.

Condition & Value

The surface shows light utensil marks and minor fading to the green border, which is consistent with a utilitarian piece of this age. There are no large chips or cracks visible in the photo. Minor wear to the transfer pattern is expected and generally accepted by vintage enthusiasts.
