Set of Seven Smith Taylor "Versailles" Pink Rose Dessert / Salad Plates, Mid-Century American Pottery
image_0 image_1 image_2 image_3

An elegant set of seven vintage dessert or salad plates produced by the celebrated American pottery firm Smith Taylor. Each plate is decorated in the charming "Versailles" pattern, featuring a single delicately rendered pink rose bouquet centered on a warm ivory ground with a refined gilt-trimmed rim. Founded in Chester, West Virginia, Smith Taylor was one of America's respected twentieth-century ceramic manufacturers, producing high-quality dinnerware known for its durability and understated elegance. The Versailles pattern exemplifies the company's timeless floral aesthetic, combining classic botanical decoration with clean mid-century lines suitable for both traditional and contemporary table settings. This matching group is ideal for collectors seeking to expand an existing Smith Taylor service or for those wishing to create a sophisticated vintage table. Their versatile size makes them suitable for salads, desserts, luncheon service, or display. Marked to the underside with the green Smith Taylor backstamp and pattern designation. Dimensions: Approximately 7 1/2 inches diameter each. A desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find matching set from a respected American pottery manufacturer.

  • Condition: Overall very good vintage condition. All seven plates display light utensil marks and minor age-related wear consistent with careful use. The gilt rims exhibit expected light rubbing in places. No chips, cracks, or repairs observed.
