Tableware Shapes in Mulberry China Collecting: Pt. 1

Video Transcript

"So when talking about collecting mulberry china and this was really made for tableware to use and they come in a lot of shapes and different forms. You can get almost a complete tableware set from the period if you are persistent and want to get out there and hunt these pieces down. This is an example of a platter. They came in a series of sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 and sometimes 5D in varying sizes maybe up to an inch a piece. So you could have a platter as small as this up to another example that is little bit bigger is this platter behind here around 14 to 15 inches and when you get into that range, there is a large. The largest platter that they make which is a meat platter and that gets to be around the 15 to 17 inch range and those pieces are very expensive if the condition is good on them. So just in the platter range you can range anywhere from 4 to 6 to 7 inches, anywhere up to 15 to 17 inches so that is talking about the platters. When you start to talk about plates, plates will vary and you can see some examples in here; 9 to 10 inches, down to 8 inches, down to 7 inches here. Those are three examples of the plates you can collect in the mulberry. Then we can move onto the terrain here which is a covered terrain and these are a little harder to find but these will range in a couple of different sizes. Some will come with covers on them and this particular one has covers on them."
