<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3783777, member: 18716&quot;]Ceramics became affordable before glass, there wasn&#039;t really a period where glass plates were commonly used for dinnerware in the 19th century.&nbsp; Glass plates from the Victorian period were used for desserts and referred to as &#039;ice plates&#039; and they were popular for frozen or chilled desserts.&nbsp; You would often find the plate was used as a tray and there would be a bowl on top.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is of course very hard to say from a pic how old they are as someone could create them today by blowing them just like this.&nbsp; Antique ones should have wear to the undersides, the glass is generally less clear than modern pieces and you should see striation lines in the material, possibly also tooling marks from the glass blowers pincers around the edges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
