Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Baltimore & Ohio
At over 180 years old, this gorgeous deep cobalt-on-white dinner plate is one of the very earliest pieces of American railroad china ever made – it dates from the late 1820s, when the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was in its infancy. It is very heavy ware, more like pottery than restaurantware or porcelain china, and is easily mistaken at first glance for "flow blue." Our plate is 9 inches across with a deep well.
