UP FOR sale IS A WONDERFUL RARE ANTIQUE OYSTER PLATE. IT IS MARKED DAVIS COLLAMORE & CO. WHICH DATES IT TO 1840\'S TO 1850\'S. DAVIS COLLAMORE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF 12 CHILDREN WHO, AT THE AGE TO SIXTEEN, MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY. IN 1842 HE ESTABLISHED HIS OWN BUSINESS AT 595 BROADWAY. HIS ESTABLISHMENT WAS A HIGH-END NEW YORK CITY IMPORTER OF PORCELAIN AND GLASS. THEY WERE RIVALS OF TIFFANY & CO. AND BLACK, STARR & FROST. COLLAMORE & CO.

I DON\'T KNOW WHO MADE THIS OYSTER PLATE, BECAUSE THE MAKER DID NOT LEAVE A MARK THAT I CAN SEE.I HAVE 3 OF THESE PLATES BUT YOU ARE offerDING ON ONLY 1. I DID SPOT 1 TINY CHIP ON THIS PLATE AND IT IS SHOWN IN PHOTO #9. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHIP ON THE TOP EDGE WHICH IS HARD TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE WHITE ON WHITE, BUT CAN BE SEEN UNDER CLOSE SCRUTINY AND FEEL. THERE IS MINIMAL WEAR TO THE GOLD.
