Vintage Blue Ridge Southern Potteries Wild Strawberry Dinner Plate

Somewhat scarce Wild Strawberry Dinner Plate from Southern Potteries, Inc. Blue Ridge Pottery - hand painted under glaze. Fluted rim, sponged green trim along border, center design of ripe, luscious strawberries and leaves. It is approx 10 1/4" in diameter. This plate is in very good condition for the age, with no chips, or repairs noted. There is a small glaze infarction (comma shaped) at about the 5 o'clock position, with a pin point indentation in the pottery; however, this may have occurred pre-firing, as it feels smooth. Disclosed for accuracy. As is common with older pieces, there are firing pin marks on the reverse, and a clay pip or two. Similar size small platters in this pattern by this maker list for $69 on popular retail dinnerware sites. The price has been adjusted down to account for the small inclusion on front. All items will arrive professionally packed in a carton large enough to satisfy carrier requirements when assessing damage claims. Each stage of packaging is digitally recorded.
