Frog Hollow vintage decor's latest offering is stacks of 6-8 curated vintage plates to use for display in hutches, plate racks, or even as accents to your tablescape. This grouping has a fruit theme. The Johnson Brother's pattern Fruit Sampler pairs nicely with their other fruit pattern Harvest Time. The latter pattern consists of two salad plates and two fruit bowls. The bowls are especially cute sitting atop the ivory salad plates. However you decide to use this curated set, you can easily switch it up through out the season.
These plates are vintage and some have lived a well-loved life meaning there are chips, staining, and crazing on some of the plates. Look closely at all the detail photos to see the chips on the plates that do have chips- not all do, as well as read the descriptions in the details section below. Details for each plate are-

The majority of the items used for the vignettes are antiques or thrift store finds and not reproductions. Ironstone dishes and other antiques have the built in character of crazing, minor chips, browning and other signs of use through the years. This authentic look of age and wear all lends itself to the romance of french country or the comfort of farmhouse bringing character and charm to your home.
