Vernon Ware by Metlox Unique Hand painted "Mesa" Dinner Plate- Read Description

If you are a collector of Metlox Potteries, this may be of interest to you. The Vernon Ware Mesa line by Metlox is a very hard to find pattern. This Mesa Dinner plate (10.25") is unique because it is missing the outer orange band and the outer brown band. Compare photos 2 (my plate) and photo 3 (normal pattern). This may have been a plate where the transfer print placement and paint colors were being tested. No stamp mark on back of plate There is a small dark spot/dots on the plate, as seen on photo 4 and a small nick on the back of the plate. Please look closely at all the photos to see what you be receiving. My mother worked for Metlox for over 25 years and this plate is part of her large collection.
