Beautiful mid-century pattern from Pope-Gosser china. Ivory semi-vitreous base with gold coin edge detail. Vintage china in overall good used condition. No chips but some crazing which we have attempted to show in the photos. 30 pieces in all detailed below:
8 10" dinner plates
4 8.5" luncheon salad plates
4 6" small plates
4 7.5" bowls
6 5" dessert bowls
1 15.5" x 11.5" serving platter
1 9" x 7" serving dish
1 7.75" vegetable dish with cover
1 6" gravy server with separate underplate
Most of the pieces bear the marking "Pope-Gosser china, Made in USA, Ivanhoe, Warranted Coin Gold," but several of the pieces bear the marking of "I-26" which we have learned is not a pattern number but rather a code indicating the semi-vitreous porcelain blank shape or production run before the decorative elements, in the this case the coin yellow gold band, were applied. The pieces all have the same banding.
