| 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.

Wow!!! You are having to much fun. Is that possible? I too love old dishes and here is a little poem I wrote that you might like.
A little piece of England
There's a little piece of England
Upon my kitchen shelf,
Where flowers bloom and secrets hide'
Oh the stories I tell myself.
Of how this little plate has travelled,
Over the wide blue sea,
Where it has been and what it has seen,
Are mysteries to me.
It has dined at so many tables of families young and old.
Christmas, thanksgiving and birthdays the thought to me is gold.
I have a set of four with the matching tea cups. They are gorgeous. You took some beautiful photos.
