Just thought you'd like to know another interesting fact I found when researching the carafe set. This firm discovered the secret to a striking Ox Blood glaze, a glaze found on many old pieces of Chinese pottery.
The company used no less than 19 different backstamps for it's various lines, the GMcB in an oval being the first, and their most famous line of dinnerware was Franciscanware (Apple and Desert Rose patterns being most well known).
See you find out the most interesting things when you check stuff out!
I've said I love dishes and I do, so much so I've been caught turning over the plates in restaurants to see who the maker of the dishes is (just do it before you're served, much easier that way). If you're caught just say you like the pattern and wanted to see if you could purchase it, the restaurant will like the compliment.
I'll pick out something else for tomorrow night, as I'm headed for bed, I have an early meeting at the 9 to 5 tomorrow and need to be alert!
See you tomorrow and for now Good Night!
