This vintage Vitreous Ironstone China plate is from the
Tivoli Hotel, located in the town of Ancon in the former
Panama Canal Zone. The plate has the Hotel Tivoli logo on
the inner rim. There are no chips or dings, but there are
several light surface scratch marks from general use that
you can see if you hold the plate up to a light at an angle.
Perhaps you actually used this plate when you dined at the
Tivoli Hotel? The manufacturer's mark on the bottom of the
plate says " Vitreous Ironstone made by Dunn Bennett &
Co. Burslem, England ". This is an early Tivoli plate and a
fine collectible. Most of the plates that I sell are vintage. It should be
expected that these items will have some sort of wear or
patina unless listed as "mint". Flaws created during the
manufacturing may not be mentioned as these are part of the
character of vintage or antique items. These flaws may,
however, be mentioned if they cause a structural defect
affecting the items integrity. I do provide large photos of
each item so that you can see the condition. Thank you for
your interest in this item.
