Franciscan Earthenware MADEIRA 12" Oval Serving Platter Green Flowers on Brown

Description: This is for a 11 3/4" long oval platter in Franciscan Earthenware's Madeira pattern with a 1975-1976 backstamp. This pattern was made from 1967-1983. It features green flowers on a dark brown background with lighter tan details. This piece is in very good condition with no damage from use: no chips, no cracks, no scratches in design. There is a blob of glaze on the rim in one spot which would have happened during manufacturing. It is small and not noticeable enough for me to think this piece was a "second". You can see it in the photos. Madeira is super hard to photograph due to the dark design. I tried to get some photos that accurately depict the coloring but if you are searching for Madeira pieces, you are probably already familiar with the color palette. I have LOTS of other Madeira pieces so if you are looking for something in particular, I just might have it. Most of my inventory is not on eBay. If you want to bundle, reach out before you purchase to make it easier invoice-wise. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces My listings are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminishment in shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item. Problems: In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase! Returns: Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully. Feedback I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! Unhappy buyers who leave negative feedback without contacting the buyer first for resolution do not give Sellers the opportunity to make things right—so everyone loses! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items?

I’m drawn to kitchen ware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritul of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide, what is that image of successful adulthood do they want to portray to their friends and family? This was a decision that usually the woman had more influence on. In the latter half of the 20th century, women did not have much power in a relationship but they did have power in the kitchen!
