Moderntone Platonite Hazel Atlas Set 7 Plates 6.75" Turquoise Blue ART DECO MINT

Description

Offered for sale is a set of SEVEN (7) plates in the "Moderntone" Platonite pattern.  This pattern was manufactured first in Depression Glass and later in fired-on colors from 1940 through the early 1950's.  This was manufactured by the Hazel Atlas Glass Company.  The color of these plates is turquoise blue and this color is considered one of the "dark fired-on colors" according to the book "Collectible Glassware from the 40's, 50's, and 60's" by Cathy & Gene Florence (copyright 2010, 10th edition).  The turquoise color is harder to get than many other colors and is a very attractive shade of blue.  Each plate measures 6 15/16" across - almost 7 inches - and could be used for desserts or small meals or anything.  All of the plates are in PRISTINE CONDITION  with no cracks, no chips, no damage whatsoever.  Please see the photos, check my feedback, and ask any questions before making a purchase.  You will be quite pleased with these plates.
