1950's Orchard Ware Hen w/ Chick Plate Set

Collectibles : Kitchenware

 

An endearing set of four pottery dessert plates from the early 1950's, each with the scene of a mother Hen tending to her chick in the middle. The colors of the birds are really vibrant and provide a nice contrast to the dark brown edges. I like that the plates are square rather than round, too, as it makes them all the more unusual. Each measures 5.75" squared and is marked "Orchard Ware, Hand Decorated, Made in California" on the back, and all are in grand condition. A fun set not only for use but display as well, and their slightly upturned corners make them useful as dresser trays, too. A really cute set, you won't be disappointed!
