Dutch Delft - Metal Pot Factory - 2 Plates w/ Flowers And Birds'

Description: This is outside of my bailiwick, but I could not resist. This set of 2 plates are from the Metal Pot factory, which I believe was active from the 1680s to the 1710s. The quality of the work is amazing and the plates are very finely potted terracotta or terra cotta. They are no thicker than my everyday Worcester Eversham plates. They are in stunning condition for 350 year old dishware of such fine manufacture. The plates are painted in brilliant red, yellow, blue, and green painting which has formed a craculature within the glaze over time. The plates are 9.25 inches in diameter. Please understand that the low price is to stimulate interest and hopefully bids. I have to move dishes on. AND I DO COMBINE SHIPPING. DO NOT PAY EBAY INVOICES-I will bill you after the auction so I can combine shipping-eBay does not do that well Half of my porcelain collection has got to go. Please look at the photos-there is a lot of detail in them. I will pack this as thoroughly as I can. If this is damaged when you receive it, I would like documentation of the damage. Then I will re-imburse you when I receive it back in the condition shown in your photos. No less will be accepted or reimbursed. I will not reimburse if you change your mind - that is your prerogative - not mine. Please write me with questions so there are no mis-understandings. I combine shipping costs if requested. If you expected perfection after 230 years, my items are not for you. I have become too chipped and battered in just 60 years to be judgmental, and these pieces of porcelain looks far better than I do anyway!
