Fabulous Modernist 1920s Art Deco Sienna Ware, Crescent China, bread and butter or desert plates, set of six. This set features Crescent China's square Sienna Ware shape displaying striking sawtooth or stairstep corners outlined in green. The pattern is the colorful Iris and Forget-Me-Not motif on the backdrop of a soft and creamy beige semi-porcelain called "Umbertone" that takes its tan color from the clay body itself, as opposed to a colored glaze.
All are in great vintage condition with age-appropriate crazing and some color loss to the green rim. One plate displays more crazing than the others. One plate has a small discolored spot, which seems to be glazed over (see 3rd pic). Amazingly no chip or cracks.
Beautiful and rare art deco plate set!
Measurement: 7" in diameter and 6" wide.
