<p>[QUOTE="JP Canada, post: 4035926, member: 20140"]First, these were stored separately in my grandmas basement and not in storage with the rest of my grandfathers collection. They were in a Rubbermaid tote with extensive packing. That is in comparison with everything else I have posted that was in boxes with bubble wrap in a storage unit. My grandma said that the smaller dish (5 inches in diameter) with the leaves was my grandfathers favourite piece. I don’t know if that speaks to value, or the fact that my grandpa just really liked them. I would like to know what they are and any other info about origin or value? Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>The first dish is divided into quarters and measures 7.5 inches in diameter. It has gold handles. It literally took my breath away when I unwrapped it. Only the inside is decorated in peach and gold with black and green accents. [ATTACH=full]327327[/ATTACH] No design on the sides. Top and bottom are pictured. [ATTACH=full]327326[/ATTACH] </p><p>The second dish has three small legs that are decorated with gold. It is 5” in diameter and has beautiful leaves painted on the inside with what looks like acorns. I don’t know how else to say it other than it feels much “lighter” than some of the other pieces - almost like it’s thinner or more fragile [ATTACH=full]327328[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]327329[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
