Rare Gray Colored Pennsbury Pottery Large Serving Platter decorated with Green Rooster Design

Description:    A nice size vintage serving platter by Pennsbury Pottery.  The platter, which has a cream background highlighted with gray lines, is decorated with a proud green rooster standing among branches with leaves on the front. The platter does not have the usual brown color of Pennsbury pottery, but rather a cream colored background with gray highlights and a green colored rim. This piece is not listed or shown in Lucile Henzke's book "Pennsbury Pottery" published by Schieffer Publishing Ltd. of West Chester PA, in 1990, further suggesting the level of rarity of this piece. Additional Information:  These are, of course, discontinued patterns since Pennsbury closed in 1970.  Bottom is marked "Pennsbury Pottery"

Size:  The platter measures approximately 13 1/2" by 11 1/4" and is 1 3/8" high.

Condition: The platter is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs.  There is no crazing and the colors and glaze are clear and bright.

In Closing:  This is a wonderful and very collectible piece which is very rare and difficult to find.
