*When trade routes opened in China around the 14th century porcelain dinner
plates and other porcelain objects was a must have for the European
Nobility. After the European started making porcelain of their own, royalty
continued their tradition of collecting and displaying them but at that
time porcelain was ont affordable for the average citizen. *
*Collecting souvenir plates was made popular in the 19th century bye a
Dutch-English nobleman who wowed the Victorian audiences with his public
plate displays . The first limited edition collector's plate "Behind the
Frozen Window" was credited to Bing & Grondahi company in 1895. Christmas
plates became very popular with many European Companies from 1904 to post
WW11. Other Scandianavian and German companies introduced annual Christmas
Series Plates. By 1949 an interest the Blue and White Danish plates rose
, plates were being imported and sold in the USA through deals and
auctions. Collectors plates are limited productions and once closed they
are never produced again. *
*Now Zazzle has strated producing plates, these plates are made of melamine
and can be used as tableware or as collectors plates. They are dishwasher
safe but cannot be microwaved. There are many sellers out there with
beautiful plates, this would be a good time to start a collection of
plates, or to give as gifts for baby showers, bridal showers,anniversaries,
birthdays, christmas and other occasions. I am sharing a few of mine you
can find them in my plate folders in both stores at
http://www.zazzle.com/allicor* and http://www.zazzle.com/boot_eek" Enjoy
and have a great day.*
