The pieces are in near-mint condition -- no chips and only very light knife marks on a few of the plates; some gentle, age-appropriate crazing is present (there's some discoloration in the bottom of the gravy pitcher). The design is colorful and playful, a real tribute to a time when optimism was in the air and an all-new design esthetic was present, reflecting that positive energy.

There are eight plates measuring 9 1/4 across, certainly large enough for the mid-day repast. The larger four plates are certainly appropriate for dinner, measuring 10 3/4 across (not including the "wing" design). There is one even larger serving platter.

Packing this large set will be a big job, but rest assured that it will be done professionally, with boxed groups within a large box, to absolutely minimize the possibility of breakage.

For the American Art Deco aficionado, a rare treasure. See less
