This is my favorite pink in the shop.
As you can see, it is a bit the worse for wear.
I have photographed it many times for this blog.
In this picture you can't see the crack.
The plate is beautiful in shape and surface design.
I love the deep rose colour.
But what I love the very most is the Yankee thrift.

This plate was repaired, probably in the 1800's.
They used staples!

They did not use materials like we have today -- super-glue or porcelain repair kits.

Wow. What creative -- and masterful -- repairwork! Obviously this plate has been a much-loved piece for a LONG time! Thanks for sharing.
I love your dishes no matter the flaws!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Lovely dishes and a pretty example of pink. Happy Pink Saturday.
Makes you remember that things were treasured and not thrown out.
I love your shop ! Had the same problem so for the men I had an area where I had a rocker (they could sit while wife shopped ! )and I displayed pipe stands, old pipes, books and other items that might interest them.

Oh I love that you saved the plate. It is still full of beauty.
Delightful post : )

am thinking the vintage staples kind of make it all the more interesting and quirky
