Lovely set of 10 oyster plates, each with 6 wells for oysters as well as a central well for cocktail sauce, drawn butter, etc. Stamped “Gilman Collamore and Co., NY, Union Square” on the back, these plates date to 1880-1890. (In 1890, the retailer moved to Fifth Avenue, NY, and the stamp was changed to reflect their new location). Although we do not know exact country of origin, Gilman Collamore was well known for importing high end European porcelain wares such as Limoges, Dresden, Worcester, and others. One plate has small chip on rim, and many have some paint loss, but overall in great condition considering their age. A wonderful opportunity to own a large number of these highly sought-after items.
