Here we have a very hard to find example of Dale Hall Pottery by T.J & J Mayer Longport. As you can see in the photographs this plate has the distinctlyregal yet soft blue that actually is slightly upraised and rippled, as if it were water, and the deep well formed Grapevines and clumps of grapes spreadacross the plate. 8 7/8\" with scooped center.These come directly from the original Victorian Estate in New England to you. Let me try to impress upon you that they truly look as if they were never used theyare all in such beautiful condition. There are no blemishes to be found in the glazed design on top. The backs are not glazed so there is no crazing thereeither.There are a few hard to see tiny places where it looks like a bubble may have popped in the vine area but even that I can not tell if it is just part of the creationor perhaps something that happens in the making, just like tiny sand dips in glass. If you are concerned please let me know I can send you a close up.Not every plate has them.Based on the clear markings on the back there is no doubt in my mind that these are mid 1850\'s.I am including free shipping within the continental USA. If you are elsewhere please message me and I will give you an exact cost. I never charge 1 cent morethan the actual fee and am always happy to combine shipping when it is safe to do so. If you choose to purchase more than 1 please use \'s shopping cartso I can send you the exact shipping cost rather than the inflated one that will be shown.
