In packing up for the move to Das Kleine Haus, I'm uncovering all sorts of things tucked away.
I'm guessing this vintage pale yellow oval platter doesn't come with a high price tag. Many years ago, I picked up two identical platters at a flee-market, for just a few dollars.
There are no identifying marks to solve the mystery of the company who made the platter. It has a Pennsylvania Dutch look in the flower border.

Do you, by chance, recognize this design?

I've never seen anything like it - but its very pretty. Jx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely platter. Such a clever depiction of the barn-raising - with the men doing the heavy work and the women folk preparing the picnic.
ReplyDeleteWish I knew the maker but it is a charming platter! xo Linda
ReplyDelete...and the women preparing the food! What a beautiful piece and keepsake. XOXO
ReplyDeletePrecious!
ReplyDeleteBarn raisings always make me think of the Amish (Pennsylvania Dutch) or the Quakers. In fact, it's still practiced in the US.
ReplyDeleteI am a lover of all things vintage ... particularly platters and bowls ... your plate is such a pretty piece! Love the Amish feel of that illustration! Perhaps you might find information on Ebay ... search the auctions for a similar pieces and then read what folks have to say about them ... just a thought.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining me at The Spice Garden! It's always nice to see new faces!
This is an enchanting pattern. My mother has a complete 8-piece dinner set and doesn't know the maker either. I searched and came up empty. Should you find the maker, please post for others "in search of" like me.
