Royal Sebring Bucks County 13 inch platter Made by Royal Sebring in Ohio, this large round platter measures 13 1/4 inches in diameter. It is almost a perfect match for Taylor Smith Taylor's yellow Luray color. In fact, in one book I checked, Lois Lehner's Encyclopedia of American Marks, she raises the possibility that Royal Sebring was taken over by Taylor Smith Taylor in the 1940s. In any case, what you have is a big bold piece of American dinnerware which has great graphic display appeal for a retro or country kitchen look.

Being born in Pennsylvania myself and of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, I appreciate the classic "Dutchy" references in this design: the hex sign on the stone barn, the tulip motif of the rim, and the women in bonnets. Various scenes of farm life are depicted: scything wheat, picking apples, a team of oxen, a pitchfork in the hay, a split rail fence, harvesting corn by hand, stacking pumpkins. There are 11 people shown in the scenes. The rim features a dancing young couple in four different poses amid a stylized abstract PA Dutch floral band.

The platter is in excellent shape. In the backstamp, it looks like it was produced in 1952. A great plate which would go along well with your Luray collection.

Purinton Pottery Club official tee-shirt This size Large Fruit of the Loom Supercotton Made in the USA white 100% cotton t-shirt was purchased by my parents in the late 1980s or early 1990s at the one convention of the Purinton Collector Club they attended. They purchased this Tee-shirt for me as a souvenir of that convention. I have never worn it.

It features the logo Happiness is Purinton and features a large replica of the Purinton Apple pattern large platter with the green edges. I hope someone who loves Purinton will purchase and wear it to flea markets or shows displaying it. What a great Mother's Day or Father's Day gift for next year. Have a friend who collects Purinton? How about an early Christmas present. Again, size is Large. It is short sleeved and in excellent condition.
Enjoy!

Forest green Mid-Century shakers Straight from a Vermont farmhouse country auction, to you, measuring 2 1/4 inches tall, this pair of salt and pepper shakers is a vibrant forest green. By its biomorphic shape, it was most likely done in the late 1940s or early 1950s to go along with one of the popular dinnerware sets of the era. They are not marked, so are they Ballerina, Pebblestone, California Modern, Monterey, you tell me. They still have their original corks and are in very good shape.
