<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 297764, member: 136&quot;]Well, Bronwen, at least based on the mentions I noted from <i>The Crockery and Glass Journal</i>, NY, 1910, you&#039;re right that 1865 seems far too early, but yes, it appears he went to work right out of high school, ca 1885!</p><p><br /></p><p>Barn Owl, in this day and age, what is most appealing about your plates is that they are so darned SIMPLE! (And I am not saying that facetiously! For many young folks today, it&#039;s &quot;the plainer, the better&quot; as far as tableware goes.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Even so, your plates would look lovely with my own china, which I purchased in Japan in 1980. It&#039;s white with wide dark blue bands, very well accented with gold. The &quot;plainness&quot; of yours would really work with the &quot;fussy-er&quot; decor of mine! I like it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
