Featuring a classic, Currier & Ives-style scenic vignette, each plate showcases a lively horse-drawn winter sleigh ride cruising through a snow-covered village, complete with rustic cabins, a distant church steeple, and snow-dusted evergreens.

The central multi-color scene is beautifully framed by a rich brown, intricate floral-and-lace border over a creamy white background, finished with an elegant embossed, scalloped rim. Crafted from durable "Ideal Ironstone China," these substantial plates bring cozy, traditional warmth to holiday gatherings or a seasonal wall display.

Chase Import was a mid-century American importing company that partnered extensively with Japanese ceramic manufacturers during the post-WWII era. They brought well-crafted, hand-painted Japanese ironstone and earthenware into the US market to satisfy the era's massive appetite for traditional and farmhouse aesthetics. These plates date back to the 1960s. See less
