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.
