Description

Dishes are 2 inches in diameter.


Set of 6 small gold rimmed coasters. Bird images depicted are Ring-necked Pheasant, Quail, and Canada Goose.  Made in the USA by Pickard for Abercrombie and Fitch. The images are the creation of artist Frank Vosmansky. Frank Vosmansky frequently hand-painted each piece of china. Tiny variations between the matching images in this set indicate these may be hand-painted. However, the lack of an artist signature on the bottoms bring that into question. New owner would need to take these to an expert to determine this. Regardless, these are a hard to find and highly collectible item to add to your collection.
