Over the years it was made in a variety of colors such as blue, pink, green, mulberry and yes, black.

It also came in a variety of shapes such as ones with scalloped edges. Others were smooth sided, and others were multi sided and even octagonal. Some had the pattern all the way to the edges, while others only had a center decoration. A few "American Marine" pieces had cream-colored backgrounds, but most were white.
These eleven dinner plates are in a very nice, lightly used condition, out of the Beverly Farms estate of Massachusetts Senator Robert Rantoul.
