The Old Curiosity Shop by Royal 1950's set of Three Underglaze Sage Green Bread/Dessert Plates
These bread/dessert plates are called "The Old Curiosity Shop".
It was part of a series made by a company known as, "Royal" in Sebring , Ohio.
During the 1950's Royal China started manufacturing this interesting Sage Green Dinnerware Pattern.
The Old Curiosity Shop like most other Royal China patterns was sold through many retail outlets and given away as premiums in supermarkets, etc. It was made in Green, Pink, Blue and Black but Green is the color that seems to have survived the test of time and is readily available to Collectors
This Charles Dickens plate was designed by Gordon Parker.
It features authentic reproductions of old world traditional scenes and was inspired by Charles Dickens novel "The Old Curiosity Shop".
If you are ever in London, I am told the actual antique shop that is featured on the Dinner Plate and in the novel still exists on Portsmouth Street where it has stood since 1567.
It was never sold as a full boxed set, but as an individual sets of each item. (A box of 4 plates for example.) The plates would have different scenes on each.
This would be a wonderful acquisition for the lover of Charles Dickens. Just right if you are completing a dinnerware set, and need a replacement.
I love the detailed artwork of the inside of this curiosity shop, and I wish I could walk through that door.
Each plate measures 6 1/2" diameter - There are no chips or cracks- each is in great condition
