Today’s offering is a Bavarian style Red Ware 4-piece set of Ceramic Desert Plates/Saucers that is hand painted in white and blue with a solid pewter-grey background.

I have other pieces available that I’m selling separately for those who might be missing one from their own personal set. These belonged to my grandmother who was from Germany and passed away in 2010 at 94 years old. I am just now willing to part with some of her pieces since there’s no point in the having to keep them in storage and not used by someone who may have a cherished set with missing pieces. I do not know if they were purchased in Germany or if they are American or Mexican Talavera made since I could not find a manufacturer’s mark. I believe the high quality of this Red Ware is much better than Talavera. However, I remember my grandmother using many of these types of sets for her German Coffee klatches with her girlfriends back in the 1960’s and the way they were having so much fun I’d bet there was more than coffee in their cups! 

FINE PRINT: As with all handcrafted vintage and antique items such as wood, resin, tin, stoneware, porcelain, bone china, crystal or glass items may have dings, dents, scratches, crazing, and there may also be normal age related wear and unique details that do not take away from the value, function or overall purpose and appearance of these beautiful pieces, but add to the history and character to these items.

Pottery irregularities such as, dings, dents, bumps, scratches, bubbles, glaze pops, dips and glazing slips, color variations, ink/paint spots under the glaze, mold lines, etc., within or on each piece are sometimes created from the manufacturing process. These are things that can happen when pottery is handcrafted, manufactured or fired.
