This listing is for 3 plates - 9 1/8 inches in the Padua pattern by Franciscan. Two have been barely used.  The third has some utensil scratches as shown and an area on the edge that looks like the original brown ring was not added cleanly. It is the plate in the front in my photos. The plates were in a box of Padua that had an original stack of 9 plates and I removed the 3 best plates to list them in this auction. Probably they were usually at the bottom of the stack when they were in use. My folks have had these stored for a long time. 


Everything on my hmnpwr site and my sister's 2vegburg site is from our parent's collections. They started collecting in the early 70's, mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area at the flea markets, shows, auctions, estate sales but they also traveled to LA or east to buy and sell. Their interests were mostly early American to midcentury American and Scandinavian ceramics. They also collected tableware, concentrating on California production. We regularly list new pieces that have been stored away for decades.
