I was recently given 12 of these plates (photo attached) that have been in my mother’s family since the Civil War and were a wedding gift to a long ago relation. Kovels has a listing that is similar, but not an exact match I don’t think “Phoenix Bird, Allover Lace, Scalloped, Cream, Pat, 1874, 9 In.”.
My plates have a scalloped edge with a basket weave design and are 9 1/2″ diameter, but have the phoenix bird and are cream.
I have searched online and have been unable to find any photos that look similar.
Does anyone have an idea to pattern and value?
Thanks very much!
Perhaps not the pattern,,sorry !! The RD # is the English registry number !! Similar to our design patent numbers !! One thing it does tell us is that it is an import item !! Bought from Copeland Spode and made for Ovington Bros. who sold it in the U.S. !! Again,, that is not unusual !! Let me do some checking on that retailer and see if I can get any information for you !!
