Ahhh, Franciscan Starburst pattern, is there any more sought after ceramic mid century beastie?
I caught this school of 38 starburst pieces at an auction of the contents from an antique store that closed 15 years ago. The owners finally decided to auction off the contents and so these have come to swim in my aquarium. I have only pictured the un chipped pieces.
The collection includes a covered butter dish, salt & pepper, 6 luncheon plates (3 chipped), 5 bread (3 chipped) plates.
One serving platter, 3 vegetable bowls, 5 coffee cups (one hairline crack), 8 saucers (one chipped)
and 8 dinner plates (one chipped).
This lil' bundle of starburst, which I'm keeping, was relatively inexpensive; if I had purchased these on eBay they would easily cost me $500-600, so believe me - I got a nice deal (although I know someone who got a similar size haul of Starburst in Canada for $15.00!).
