Lamberton-Scammell Sterling China:
Restaurant Ware Plate
“Ivory”

A very heavy, thick restaurantware plate from Lamberton Scammell (Trenton China, NJ, 1924 to 1954) in a pattern or shape called "Ivory." It has a white center, with a thin red band around the rim. The rim is colored gray, with cutouts where there are what appear to be red flowers with green leaves; however, careful inspection will show that the flowers are actually hearts.

The plate is 9.25 inches wide and is in excellent condition. There are no flaws that I can find, and the plate is remarkably free from utensil marks and scratches.

The plate is stamped under-glaze with a green mark that reads "Ivory / Lamberton / China / Sterling."

Universal Cambridge
CAMWOOD
Dutch "Windmill"
and Tulips

A lovely decorative dinner plate from Universal Potteries (Cambridge, Ohio, from 1934 to 1976) in the line called "Camwood Ivory" in a pattern called "Windmill" (replacements
#247187 ).

The gold-trimmed plate features a lovely decal pattern with windmills on a river bank, a person standing on the bank by a boat, clouds and trees, and pink, yellow, and blue tulips in the foreground.

It measures almost 10 inches wide across the rim. It is in very good condition, with light but visible crazing on one side of the face, and no chips, flakes, hairlines, or other flaws. The decal is very rich and colorful, with sharp detail. There are very little signs of utensil marks (even at an angle in the light) or scratches to the decal decoration.

Universal China, Ballerina Shape:
Yellow & Green Floral Pattern
on 13-inch Handled Cake Plate

A lovely handled cake plate (or platter or serving tray) in the Ballerina shape from Universal China.

The plate features a lovely floral pattern with buds and leaves in shades of green, gold, brown, and black. It measures a bit over 13.25 inches wide across the handles. It is in excellent condition, with only light crazing (consistent with age), and no chips, flakes, hairlines, or other flaws. The decal is very rich and colorful, with sharp detail. There are almost no utensil marks (even at an angle in the light), no scratches to the decal decoration. The only flaw I can find is a brown splotch on the underside, which I finally realized wasn't dirt or scratches, but a little bit of decal that had gotten fired in to the bottom!

The piece is listed on replacements.com as item 108039. The plate has a gold stamped mark that reads: UNIVERSAL OVEN PROOF / BALLERINA / UNION MADE IN U.S.A. / This pattern will not fade / It is Permacal. Price: $20

Three Dinner Plates from the 1910s-1920s:
H.R. Wyllie
“Old Spanish” Pattern

Three stunning dinner plates from H.R. Wyllie in the pattern called "Old Spanish," dated from between 1910 and the mid-1920s. These plates measure 9.25 inches across the rim, and feature bouquets of orange tulips with blue forget-me-nots on a soft washed yellow background, in a very art nouveau design.

Two of these plates are in very good condition. They show extremely light utensil marks when held to the light, and one has a light wear mark on a tulip at the raised rib edge. The third has extensive crazing, which makes the light utensil marks more visible. There are no chips, cracks, or hairlines to any of the 3 plates.

The base of the plates are stamped in gold: Old / Spanish / H.R. Wyllie . Price: $45.00.

Warwick China

Warwick China

In very good condition, this lovely serving tray or platter is from Warwick China (Wheeling, West Virginia, from 1884 to 1951) in a pattern of "blue laurel with gold trim" (see replacements.com item 110346). It dates, I think, to about 1945 (Lehner, page 501).
