Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a reproduction plate with a beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch design, which is just wonderful. A definite beauty, which deserves a prominent spot in any redware collection.

Remember Shooner pottery is reproducing these pieces from original pieces in museums and private collections. All these marks and reproduced age issues can be seen in the photos.
