I remember my grandmother had a set of these for years. I recognized it the minute I saw it, but thought ... oh, it couldn't be. Then I saw your post that said it was available from back in the '30s. I'm not quite that old ... but yes, I was right, it was the same stuff -- with those concentric circles around the rim and in the center.

My grandmother's was the kind of aqua green color. I didn't much care for it, but we ate from it everyday. One of my very earliest memories was of a woman who lived across the street from us when my parents lived briefly in Oregon. She gave my mother a dark blue -- almost indigo colored -- plate that didn't match any of the other dishes in the set. I was not quite two at the time, but I remember that plate. And when my parents moved back to Texas (after one terrible winter in Oregon -- I'll have to tell you about it sometime) ... that plate made the trip, too.

My grandmother put it in with her aqua ones -- and I would insist on eating from it. It was my plate because it was different from all the rest -- and I liked the color better. Probably be worth a small fortune now. Probably one of the radioactive ones. Cobalt blue ... you know.
