A RARE SET OF GENUINE STUART CRYSTAL PLATES

A RARE SET OF GENUINE STUART CRYSTAL PLATES

CERTAINLY A VERY RARE SET OF BEAUTIFUL GENUINE CRYSTAL PLATES. OBVIOUSLY ORIGINALLY A SET OF 6, BUT NOW A SET OF 4. THESE HAVE BEEN INDIVIDUALLY HAND ENGRAVED AND ETCHED AND DATE TO THE EARLY 2OTH CENTURY OR THEREABOUTS. PROBABLY USED AS DESSERT PLATES. MOST ARE MARKED WITH THE OLD "STUART" CRYSTAL ETCHED MARK ON THE BACK OF THE PLATES (HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH). PLATES HAVE THREE DIFFERENT FRUIT DESIGNS, THE NICEST BEING STRAWBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES. THESE HAVE BEEN USED OVER THE YEARS AND WERE CONSTANTLY STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER....SO SOME DEGREE OF SCRATCHING OR WEAR HAS OCCURED, BOTH ON TOP AND BOTTOM....HOWEVER, WITH A PROFESSIONAL BUFFING, THESE COULD BE RESTORTED TO THEIR ORIGINAL BEAUTY. STUNNING AS THEY ARE EITHER FOR USE OR DISPLAY. AGAINST THE BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THEY ARE AMAZING. FOUND A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS ON TWO OF THEM, TOO SMALL TO PHOTOGRAPH AND CERTAINLY NOT DETRACTING FROM APPEARANCES. PLATES MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 20,5CM DIAMETER.
