    Description

    I must admit, I learned a little bit about "Gaudy Welsh" pottery when researching this plate.  This pattern is known as "Smoking Indian", "Smoking Buddha", or "Oyster".  It features standard colors of cobalt blue, dark rust, green and a pink-copper luster on a white background.  On the underside, there are impressed numbers (10 / 2) and an asterisk -- unfortunately not much in the way of clues to manufacturer.
    Normal to light crazing.  No structural issues. Paint on outer rim is eroded in a few spots (probably most visible in picture #2)  Overall, for age, it is in good condition.
    9.5" Diameter.
    The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge.  If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
    Please see "About me" for the contract  legalese.  Boring, I know, but essential. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping.
