Description
Elegant vintage Syracuse China bread and butter plate from the Old Ivory collection in the Rosalind pattern. Features a creamy ivory base with delicate pink rose clusters in the center and a secondary ring of rosettes. The edge is finished with a scalloped rim and an intricate gold-tone stenciled border. Measuring approximately 6 inches in diameter, this piece is a classic example of American mid-century tableware.
Key Features
Desirable 'Old Ivory' body color which is more sought after than pure white; highly collectible Syracuse China brand; classic Shabby Chic/Cottagecore aesthetic; gold filigree detailing.
Authenticity Indicators
Syracuse China usually features a green or black backstamp on the underside with 'Old Ivory' and a date code (a letter followed by a number). Confidence: High, as this is a very standard and recognizable American pattern.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear/rubbing to the gold rim filigree; potential light utensil marks in the center (hard to see in photo); check for underside crazing which often affects this specific ivory glaze.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for replacement piece seekers), or Replacements, Ltd. (if condition is flawless).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Grandmillennial', 'Cottagecore', 'Old Ivory', and 'Replacement Piece'. Always photograph the backstamp for date-code verification. Ship in a small box with at least 2 inches of bubble wrap; never ship china in a poly mailer.
