Bluebird China Serving Platter - Unusual Shape

  • 473 Views
Travel back in time to the 1920s with bluebird china (also called grandmother china). This serving platter is the same type of China as some of the examples that collector Val Ubell posted on the Collectors' Quest blog, http://www.collectorsquest.com/blog/2008/04/15/bluebird-of-happiness-collecting-china-glass-and-bird-items/ The 12-sided platter is harder to come by than round plates, because fewer of this shape were manufactured. Therefore, it costs a little more than round plate, bowl, or cup would. Some interesting history about this type of china and price comparisons can be found at http://www.phyllisantiques.com/bluebird_china.htm.
