Description

BLUE DANUBE- BLUE ONION  (c.1977+) DINNER PLATE(s)-  RECTANGLE STAMP-  EXCELLENT!

THE  PLATES ARE IN EXCELLENT  CONDITION.  THERE ARE NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR CRAZING, ALTHOUGH THERE  ARE SMALL VERY FINE SCRATCHES ON THE PLATE FACE….NOT NOTICEABLE UNLESS ANGLING AT WITH AN UP-CLOSE LOOK.  THE COBALT BLUE AND MEISSEN STYLE PATTERN,  UNDER-GLAZED ON FINE TRANSLUCENT PORCELAIN,  DISPLAYS GREAT QUALITY!

WHAT AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO YOUR PLATE  COLLECTION OR TO YOUR  BLUE DANUBE/BLUE ONION SET.  DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE GREAT PIECES WILL BE AVAILABLE.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
