I AM OFFERING, IN VERY GOOD PRE-OWNED AND DISPLAYED CONDITION (VERY CLEAN PRE-OWNED AND DISPLAYED RARE ANTIQUE EXAMPLE - NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR REPAIRS [SHALLOW SLIVER OF PORCELAIN MISSING FROM THE OUTER, UNDER EDGE OF THE PLATE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS GROUND OUT DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, SINCE IT APPEARS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN AIR POCKET OR BUBBLE AND THERE IS A GLAZE OVER A PORTION OF THE SURFACE AROUND THE GROUND OUT PIECE - REMARKABLY THAT IS NO FADING OR CRAZING [CRAZING ACROSS THE SURFACES OF THESE PARTICULAR PLATES - MADE BY ROWLAND & MARSELLUS Co., STAFFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, IS COMMONLY FOUND, WHICH MAKES THIS OFFERING ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT] - THIS PLATE AND OTHERS LIKE IT WERE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND IMPORTED BY THE HIMMELSTERN BROTHERS OF SAN FRANCISCO), A FANTASTIC AND VERY HARD TO FIND FLOW BLUE PLATE FROM THE 1880\'s OR EARLIER, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 10 1/16\" ACROSS.
THIS PLATE AND ITS CONDITION REMINDS ME OF THE DIFFERENCES THAT EXIST BETWEEN THE SAME BASEBALL CARDS, WHEN IT COMES TO GRADING ONE CARD OVER ANOTHER. IN THE CASE OF THIS PLATE, THE ABSENCE OF CRAZING AND HOW THAT WOULD HAVE EVEN BEEN POSSIBLE BASED ON OTHERSIMILAR PLATES, AND THE AGE OF THESE PLATES IS THE POINT THAT SEPARATES THIS PLATE FROM MANY OTHERS THAT MIGHT EXIST, SINCE THIS PARTICULAR PLATE IN ANY CONDITION IS RARE.
I WILL NOTE THAT REGARDLESS OF HOW I TRIED TO CAPTURE THE TRUE DEEP BLUE COLOR OF THIS PLATE, I COULD NOT GET A COLOR THAT WAS AS DEEP AND DARK AS THE REAL COLOR OF THIS PLATE, SO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN VIEWING THE PHOTOS I HAVE PROVIDED. THANK YOU
