    Description

    Lot of 4 vintage Crown Ducal "Florentine" white (or ivory) dinner plates.  Two of the plates are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, discoloration, etc. and two of the plates have mild crazing consistent with age but no chips, cracks, or discoloration.  Pictures 4 and 5 are of the plates with crazing.  These plates measure 10 1/2 inches in diameter and have the beautiful "Florentine" impressed design of fruits and leaves around the border and a graceful scalloped edge.  The plates have a deep well in center so food won't spill over the edges.  Crown Ducal introduced the "Florentine" design in 1930 or 1931 and by the late 1930s had made variations that included patterns and colors on the "Florentine" blank.  The plain "Florentine" pattern was produced into the early 1960s; however it is difficult to find pieces without crazing or chips nowadays.  I purchased these plates at an estate sale years ago and used as chargers with colored salad plates.  I was planning on accumulating a set in this pattern since I think it is one of the most attractive of all the all white or ivory dinnerware designs.  However, I have begun the process of downsizing and decided it was time for them to go to a new home.  I have priced at a fraction of price on replacement sites.
    All items I sell either come from or have been stored in a smoke free environment and are sold “as-is”.    I photograph and describe in detail to the best of my ability.
    I do NOT accept returns, so please read  detailed description and look at photos carefully!!!
    Please contact me if you have any questions whatsoever or would like more information, and  I will be glad to answer and/or provide additional photos if desired.  I respond promptly to any questions.   I package very carefully and normally ship via UPS or Fedex by next business day following purchase and payment.
    NOTE:  I no longer ship larger fragile items via USPS because they mishandle resulting in delayed delivery and higher than normal breakage and loss.  USPS also now routinely denies all claims for items they break stating they are "not responsible" !!!
    I will be glad to combine multiple purchases to save on shipping costs where feasible.  If you wish to make a multiple purchase please contact me before paying for items so I may figure correct shipping and send you an accurate invoice.  Packages are shipped with tracking and/or insurance.
    Please read our feedback - buyers are enthusiastic in their praise and are very pleased with their purchases as well as quick handling and delivery.
