In 1949 to 1951, the Taylor Smith Taylor company issued the scarce gray LuRay with a few decals. This bold green leaf and brown branch decal called Coffee Tree was designed by Walter Dorwin Teague who designed the Conversation line which launched in 1951 and was made until 1954. I like the highly stylized and abstract design on the muted gray glaze. The pattern carried the standard LuRay mark and a datestamp of 9/49
These pieces of the pattern are 6 10 inch dinner plates. There is slight knife wear to three of the plates. The others appear unused.
Impressive and useful pieces to add to your LuRay collection or American Dinnerware collection today.
In the 1995 LuRay book by Meehan, a regular gray LuRay 10 inch dinner plate is listed at $17-$25. This exact decal can also be seen on page 86 of that fine reference book. Priced each. Order all 6 if you like. |
