Key Features
Highly collectible holiday pattern; scalloped edge design; classic 'toile de jouy' aesthetic which is currently trending in grandmillennial decor; durable fine china construction.
Authenticity Indicators
The underside should feature the '222 Fifth' hallmark/stamp with the PTS International logo. The quality of the transfer print and the uniform scalloping are key indicators. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No major physical flaws visible. Potential buyers should look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the scalloped edges which are prone to bumping, and light utensil scratches in the center.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for replacement china pieces. Poshmark is excellent for home decor bundles. Local Facebook Marketplace is good if selling as a full set of 4 or more.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Red Transferware,' 'Holiday Toile,' and 'Replacement China.' Photograph the backstamp clearly. If you have only one, list it as a 'replacement piece.' If you have several, bundling them into a set of 4 will significantly increase your profit margin and move the inventory faster.
