Circa 1820 Chinese Export Pair of Orange Fitzhugh Platters measuring 16" X 13". Fresh out of a very important estate in Charlottesville, Virginia--The home of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello. Both of these platters have black marks on them which was done in the making of these beautiful old fitzhugh platters. There are eight images that we are showing on this one platter(Platter #1) of the pair,illustrating these firing marks. There were a couple chips on the rim of each platter that we have had professionally restored. The other platter has been listed separately, so the images of each platter and black marks can be viewed. We are willing to sell these platters separately or as a pair. We also have priced both as individually or as the pair. Very Reasonably I might Add. Single Orange Fitzhugh Platters of this size and in good condition usually sell for $6500.00, and a matching pair from the same estate is unheard of.   « Less

We have in our inventory, 10--19TH Century Chinese Export Blue Canton Dinner Plates measuring 9 3/4"-10" in diameter. They all have chips, nicks, and one had been broken and repaired by old stapling method. All these plates are 19th century. NO NEW CANTON. This will be sold as one lot--$500.00 Plus Shipping. FINAL PRICE!!! We are showing each dinner plate on our web site. #1-#10!! #10 is the plate that has been stapled. #'s 6 thru 9 are all about the same coloring and on a average each have 2-3 chips. #'s 3,4, and 5 are darker and are a deeper plate, almost like a shallow soup plate and each of these have 1 or 2 chips. #'s 1 and 2 are a lighter blue and more crudely made and have no visable chips--maybe just a tiny rough edge. All of these plates are definetely from the 1800's and are not the modern day reproductions that are flooding the market made in china. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DIFFERENT COLORING IN BLUE AND CHIPS, ETC. THEY WOULD REALLY SHOW OFF A CORNER CUPBOARD or other ways of decorating in the home.   « Less
