Image 1: Golden Crown Bavaria Harvest plates detail |
Today I am making a Thanksgiving photo mosaic from a set of plates I got at a recent estate sale. I like the colors on the plates, which I bought because it rounded out my fall plate collection.

The plates are labeled on the back "Golden Crown, E&R; Bavaria Germany". The date on the label is 1886, which I think is the date E&R was founded. Quick internet research revealed that the E&R stands for Ebeling and Reuss of Pennsylvania.
The internet indicates Ebeling and Reuss started using the blue stamp possibly in 1955. My plates probably were manufactured in 1955-1960 in Germany at the Carl Schumann factory. The Carl Schumann factory closed in 1994.
The plates are 7.75 inches in diameter with a .25 inch band of gold on the edge. The colors glow. The plates in my set (I have 7 different designs) come from the Orchard and Harvest series.
