Description
MacKenzie-Childs Ceramic Bread & butter plate Aalsmeer1988
This handmade dish is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs earliest beginnings era when Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs owned and designed at the factory in Aurora up until 2001. Currently, this pattern and shape is not in production and has been retired for some time, so this piece is more collectible.
The bread & butter plate is 7″ diameter. Plate as early VRMC logo stamped on bottom with date 1988 stamped in clay
Bread & Butter plate is in nice vintage condition- no chips, or cracks. See photo closeup of front painting of dish you can see where the brush stroke began and ended- these are hand painted each one unique. Photo of back of dish, the little dark mark on bottom of lip is some of the blue glaze from the lattice painted design. Again not a defect . Sweet little dish can be used as a side dish, a candy dish, a key catchall on entry table, even a soap dish.
Pre-owned
The pattern Aalsmeer is where Victoria’s sister and family lived in the Netherlands. While visiting the Dutch colors, the MacKenzie-Childs packed a precious box of tulips going every other way for home. From The Story Behind The Patterns. Aalsmeer was part of the Taylor Series.
MacKenzie-Childs factory sits upon the Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in Upstate NY that spans 50 miles long.
ALL of my M-C items unless stated otherwise, were hand-painted and made from the period when Victoria and Richard were owners and worked at the factory.
