Description: Vintage Pope-Gosser China salad plates in Flora Bell pattern (#3173). The decoration is pink roses interspersed with blue and yellow flowers and green leaves; the pattern is beautiful, a true work of art. There is a gold rim around the edge of the plates. The plates measures ~8 inches across from edge to edge. The plates are marked "POPE-GOSSER CHINA MADE IN U.S.A. STERLING". Based on this mark, they were likely manufactured around 1930 (see history below). The plates are in excellent condition- no cracks, chips or repairs; however, there is some very hard to see crazing in the glaze, typical of the age. Nine plates are available. Pope-Gosser China was established in 1902 by I. Bentley Pope and Charles F. Gosser in Coshocton, Ohio. Early pieces were marked with the Clarus Ware mark. They then used the ‘Pope-Gosser China’ mark until about 1908, when they adopted the Unicorn mark. In 1920, the lettering on the mark was changed to ‘POPE-GOSSER CHINA’ in all capital letters, and in the late 1920’s through about 1931, “MADE IN U.S.A.” was included on the pieces. In the 1940’s, the company began using the tureen mark, and in the 1950’s, the wreath mark was used. I have a number of other Pope-Gosser Flora Bell China pieces available for sale in this pattern soup bowls, covered vegetable, gravy boat and underplate, a large platter, dinner plates, bread plates and small handled berry bowls.
