Anything produced in the range you mention should be safe for use. Just to be safe don't use anything chipped or damaged because that exposes the user to the raw metal oxides used in production. We do not give values here but as a general rule serving pieces command more money than plates.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027786373775510140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841336701239728405.post-67801698865433148202017-10-08T11:22:19.713-07:002017-10-08T11:22:19.713-07:00I received a whole dessert set from my mother tea ...I received a whole dessert set from my mother tea cups saucers and a cake plate with cabbabe dome.

Can you tell me anything about the impressed mark on the 1922-1955 piece- specifically the MT631C? Mine has a similar code ( BT 631C) and I haven't been able to find info about that. Thanks!

It's considered the first "Depression glass" pattern; glass collectors call it Avocado or Baltimore Pear. Many Depression glass patterns are modernist, but this one clearly looks backward.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969732734453586544noreply@blogger.com
