SUSIE COOPER COWBOY PATTERN PLATES
I have a ten inch dinner and a nine inch luncheon plate for your consideration. They are both in incredible condition. The nine inch appears unused and mint. The 10 inch has a few, very minor utensil marks that can only be seen when held to the light. It also has two pin size glaze pops. There is no crazing on either plate. The plates are glossy and the hand painted colors are vivid. It's hard to believe they were made over seventy years ago! They are marked "Susie Cooper Production, Crown Works Burslem, England" and they have the leaping deer logo. The marks you see by the logos are from production and they all have them in the same spot. These two plates sell together without reserve!!
This auction is for the two plates mentioned above and pictured below but I also have 11 more luncheon and 9 more dinner plates. I may consider selling those to the high bidder as well.

On May-20-08 at 03:09:18 PDT, seller added the following information:Here is some additional information on these plates.
Susie Cooper did several ranges of nurseryware during the 1930s all with a distinct style similar to cowboy, horse and jockey, skiier and golfer are all examples and there is also a range of farmyard animals which sit nicely alongside these designs.
Cowboy (pattern No 1227) was introduced in 1936 and according to Andrew Casey's book ' Susie Cooper A Collectorrs Guide' it was first shown at the British Industries Fair in that year alongside other nurseryware designs and was intended not just for the childrens market but to have adult appeal as well.
Also mentioned in Andrew's book:
"Cowboy pattern, often referred to as 'South American Joe' but affectionately known to Susie Cooper as 'Tom Hicks,' after the famous Hollywood Western actor."
