Antique, heavy ceramic American Birds dinner plate with rope edge and with impressed diamond shaped mark indicating it was made in the late 1800's. It's very difficult to discern the markings on the corners. The name, James Edwards, is also impressed. American Birds is printed in purple. This 9-3/4 inch plate is in amazing condition. There are relatively minor utensil marks on the surface and an overall crazing. The rim of the plate has rust and gray colored marks where the glaze is thin.
