WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY to own all graduated platter sizes of this RARE 19thC ROGERS ATHENS blue & white transferware pattern. Probably early 1800's, "Rogers" is embossed into the china. Platters are rectangular or oval and range in size from 11" to 21.5", in varying conditions, the most damaged being the largest piece with repaired crack across center, other pieces have various edge chips and maybe a light crack on the surface. But all pieces are INTACT. Color is wonderfully bright in all, and scenes are a bit different on each. Total six weigh 20 pounds before packing; might pack largest repaired piece separately to ensure safety without weight of other pieces. NOTE: Am offering matching flat plates and gravy & soup tureens in separate auctions at this same time..
