Frankoma USA Plainsman Gold Dinner Plate Clay pottery Description: Desert Gold, Scalloped rim Frankoma mark on back Produced 1980 - 2000 Vintage Approximate 10.25" rim Diameter Pre-owned. Very Good Condition for Vintage Some surface scratches due to use. Each plate has some unevenness or spots in the glaze and clay - part of Frankoma's artistry! Pictures are of 1 plate - similar to the other plates available for sale I have 2 of these that have a very even yellow glaze on the plate surface. Some people like the great variety of the gold and tan on the plates; I like a more uniform appearance on the plates, so i was able to collect these overtime that are a very close match.
