Only the smallest plate which is 9.25 inches across is for sale here.

I found a Polaroid photo of this plate. It was the only photo in the box. I am including a screenshot of the back of the Polaroid photo. This plate was purchased for $250 in 1989 which is the equivalent of $600 today. I’m away from my house right now. I will also include of photo of the front of the plate when I get home and will include this photo with the plate for whoever purchases it.

After I purchased these four bowls/chargers from an auction, I discovered a piece of paper in the box that described at least some of these bowls (see last 3 photos),. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which description applied to which of the four bowls. The only one I’m sure about is that the bottom description is talking about the red 14 inch bowl, because they included a measurement. Please read the notes for yourself and do your own comparisons to the photos, auction notes (included here), and other online research.

I’m sorry but Chairish didn’t allow the notes to be posted. If you contact me I will send you a copy of the notes.

MY GUARANTEE IS THAT I WILL BE HONEST ABOUT MY ITEMS AND FAIR WITH MY PRICING.

There are three steps involved in pricing for me.

1. Use an app called Google Lens to take a photo of any item. It will bring up similar items and how much they sell/sold for. This is also helpful in figuring out what to call or how to describe the item.

2. Do a Google search for the name of the item.

3. Do a search for the item by name on Chairish and another similar site.

Since I am being fair with my pricing I want you to know these steps. It will only help me by validating my pricing choices, and I hope it will help you to recognize items that are overpriced.

Feel free to ask me any questions and make an offer.

Thank you!
