6 Gorgeous Dinner Plates SUNNYVALE by Castleton China Design By Rosenthal

Description: These are 6 lovely porcelain dinner plates, made by Castleton here in the USA with a design named Sunnyvale. This set has a beautiful design of pink roses, blue tulips, and purple and yellow flowers scattered on the off white or ivory colored porcelain.The edges of the plates are raised in a pearl edge and trimmed in gold. In the late 1930’s with the war looming, Rosenthal approached the Shenango Pottery Company in Pennsylvania to manufacture and supply the Rosenthal catalogue of porcelain products under the name 'Castleton China'. This saved Rosenthal shipping costs, plus any interruptions in manufacturing that could happen if/when war did occur. So that is what this cup is. Made in the USA but designed by the famous porcelain manufacturer of Germany, Rosenthal. Several years after the war ended, in 1951, Shenango purchased all the Rosenthal U.S. holdings in 'Castleton China' which it continued to produce until 1974. I couldn’t find anything to date this backstamp specifically, but looks this backstamp changed in 1951, so this set was probably made sometime between 1939 and 1951, although it could have been made later. The set is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, stains, or crazing. There is minimal wear to the gold and flowers. There is also little wear to the glaze looking at an angle to the light, but there are a some utensil marks that can be seen holding the plates at angle to the light. The plates are 10 & 5/8 inches in diameter, and weighs about 1 pound 6 ounces each. Please zoom in on the pictures and see the 360 degree video for a closer look. I pack with lots of bubble wrap for safe shipping and ship out quickly, sometimes same day, always by next business day, and sometimes on Saturdays if I can get to the post office by noon. Any questions, please ask, and thanks for looking!
