I wrote about the Lettuce Ware last week and right after that I went to a huge yard sale at the Greek Church close to my office, as I mentioned yesterday. One of the things that I picked up was two green leaf plates.
Not lettuce ware, but green majolica.
Of course, the first thing I did was flip them over, as I do to pretty much any china I see (that’s not in a private home!). I am always so interested in the maker’s marks. When I was looking up to see if I could find any information about plates similar to these, which are unmarked, I discovered that Wedgwood also made a lettuce leaf-style plate.
The Wedgwood pattern seems to come in several iterations including a dark green, a leafier green and white.
There also seems to be a huge price range on these plates on Ebay, ranging from $9.00 to $70.00 for one plate!
Some of the plates are lettuce/cabbage leaves and others are strawberry leaves.
I am always amazed that you hear or read about something, and then all of a sudden it appears everywhere! What fun!
