[Update #3: All of these dishes have now been spoken for.]

We’re thinning the herd from our collection of vintage American dishes from that period just before and after WWII, before the influx of cheap Japanese dishware put the American pottery companies out of business.

Great colors and designs. I doubt they are microwave safe, since almost all predate the microwave era.

Most of these are collected over the years from thrift shops and rummage sales, a piece or two at a time.

Now we’re cutting down to only a few sets, letting others go, including some favorites.

Free to good homes.

For example, there’s a set of these Metlox Poppytrail plates, made in California.

There are four or five 10″ plates, four 7-1/2″ plates, and four smaller salad plates, 6-1/4″.

[Update #1: The Russel Wright’s have been spoken for.] There’s also a stack of Russel Wright plates and a couple of bowls, various sizes and colors. May be a few other odds and ends.

[Update #2: This set of Vernon Kiln items has also been claimed.] And a box with quite a number of Vernon Kiln plates and bowls in their “Organdie” pattern, and at least one other pattern that uses slightly different colors. If you’re interested, I can do a count.
