do you collect and use these olde heavy dishes? i started collecting them when moving to kentucky. white goes with just about any accompanying color and all food 'looks' good on it too!
"Sanitary hotel china" is how painter-potter Henry Varnum Poor (1888-1971) saracastically referred to the Americn ceramics tradion he so despised. From his perspective, the ubiquitous, thick, cream or white-colored china had seemingly nothing more to offer than plain old function; it had little sense of art, refinement, or sophisiticaiton 00 ironically, the very hallmarks which give most American classics their appeal, particulary athose born of Country origins."
