Manufacturer: Royal Sebring, Ohio
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.
