Description: For your consideration is a set of 12 antique gold encrusted china dinner plates from a local estate in very good condition. 6 of the plates are marked Bauscher china made in Weiden, Bavaria. These 6 plates are in great condition, but one has some of the gold rubbed off on the edge as shown in photo #17. You can't see this from the top or the bottom of the plate; it can only be seen from the very edge. That is the only known flaw on the Bauscher plates. These plates measure approximately 10 9/16's in diameter. The other 6 plates are marked Schwarzburg. These plates are slightly more concave than the Bauscher plates and they are slightly smaller at 10 7/16's in diameter. Another difference between the two types of plates is that the feet of the Schwarzburg plates are painted in gold. The gold encrusted borders and the center gold ring decoration is essentially the same on all 12 plates. There are two Schwarzburg plates that have a few small divots in them (about the size of the head of a pencil eraser) from the manufacturing process as shown in photos #7 & #8. These tiny indentions are hard to show on photos and are barely noticeable except upon close inspection. One of the Schwarzburg plates has a small chip on the edge as shown in photos #12 and #13. One Schwarzburg plate has a black pin dot on it - see photo #9 - from manufacturing. Photo #3 shows 5 Schwarzburg plates on the left and 5 Bauscher plates on the right, with the sixth plate from each maker in the middle. Photo #4 shows one plate from each maker for comparison. These photos demonstrate that all 12 of these plates appear to be nearly identical. The gold encrusted collar and the center circle look identical. The two different makers back stamps are shown in photos #14 and #16. These marks show that the Bauscher plates were made between 1901 and 1924 and the Schwarzburg plates were made between 1904 and 1924. I'm including a hard-sided, round zipper storage case with this listing as shown in photos #17 and #18. My preferred shipper is Fed Ex Home Delivery, but you may use any of the shipping options shown. I normally ship same or next business day, but I'm allowing myself a few extra days - just in case - for this shipment. Thank you for looking!
