There is no question that the Maddock & Miller - Herman C. Kupper building at 39-41 West 23rd Street [New York City] is to become one of the important pottery, glassware and lamp showplaces in the Uptown China Center.  (From the Pottery, Glass & Brass Salesman, March 1922)

{HISTORY}

{SIZE}

Measures 13.5" inches (length) x 12.25" inches (width) 

{CONDITION}

Crazing on both front and back. There are five small chip marks on the back (most likely caused from wall display hangers). Three of these five chip marks are unseen from the front, the other two are visible along the rim line. Please see photos. Platter is in great, fully functional shape.

{STYLE IDEA} 

Platters, in addition to being indispensable serving pieces, also make beautiful wall collages when grouped together with similar colors and patterns.
