    Description

    These plates are so Country French to me.  Even with the crazing and discoloration, they say "Use me.  Display me."  Well, I have used them over and over again, but it's time for me to downsize.
    There has to be a way to treat them that would lessen the staining.  I've read articles about that but have never tried it.
    Maybe one of you looking at this auction will fall in love with them and take a chance.  As incredible as it may seem, this type of plate sells for a pretty penny on other sites.
    Measurements: 3 @ 8-1/4", 7 @ 9-1/4"
    No chips or cracks.
    They were sold at Grand Depot, a very popular 3-floor store for home goods beginning in the late 1800s.  The owner of the store was Emile Bourgeois, a great visionary introducing a "department store" for the shopper.
