Minor wear. Plates measure approximately* 8” across. Bottoms are marked Cuthbertson Original Christmas Tree. Made in England. The Cuthbertson Story:In 1922, Mr Fred Cuthbertson of Greenwich, Connecticut created the “Original Christmas Tree” pattern for fine dinnerware. To appeal to the American market he designed a traditional American Christmas tree. Adorned with the traditional Star of Christmas on top and presents round the tree, with toys in keeping with the 1920’s. To complement the tree a trim of Christmas green was used to border the ware. Mr. Cuthbertson owned the prestigious Plummers Store in New York and retailed his new “Original Christmas Tree” design exclusively in his store under the Plummers backstamp. In the beginning, the pattern was produced in Ohio. Later the pattern was made in England where it is still produced today. The pattern was continually produced through the 1920s and 1930s with the green band. For two years during World War II, Mr. Cuthbertson introduced a similar pattern using a red band and toys to reflect the times. Both the “Original Christmas Tree” and the new red band pattern were produced in the United States. After the war, production on this new pattern was discontinued and the “Original Christmas Tree” pattern was again produced in England. In the 1950’s Mr. Cuthbertson’s sons offered the “Original Christmas Tree” pattern through a new company they named Cuthbertson House and for wholesale to other fine stores under the name Bertson House. In the 1970’s both names were changed to Cuthbertson Imports. Cuthbertson Imports owns the design copyrights for the pattern in England, Canada and the United States. Additionally, Cuthbertson owns the copyrights to the name “Original Christmas Tree” in all three countries. Produced for over 92 years Cuthbertson’s Christmas Tree pattern is the original. Over the years many manufacturers have since marketed Christmas tree designs on ceramics and glassware but none, we feel, are equal in overall appeal to Cuthbertson’s “Original Christmas Tree”. ----------------- I will combine shipping. To get combined shipping, contact me for a combined shipping quote. I can't combine shipping on items already purchased. I list my items at a price that I think is fair. If you do not like the price, please feel free to purchase the items from someone else. I will not respond to offers. * I use a Lufkin brand tape measure to measure all of my items. Depending on how you measure, and what you use to measure, the measurements of the item may vary slightly. I do my best to list the size accurately, by the size may vary by 1/8". I don't use "stock" or manufacturer's sizing. I measure the actual item that I have. ----------------- I accept returns. Buyer is responsible for the shipping (both ways) on returned items. You will only receive a refund on the cost of the item, not shipping charges. I use the USPS shipping calculator for shipping. I enter the weight of the item plus packaging and then USPS does the rest. I cannot lower shipping because it is determined by USPS, not me. Please ask questions if you are unsure about an item. I would rather you ask questions than be disappointed. I will do local pick up on any of my items. If you live in the greater Philadelphia area - please contact me about pick ups in Bucks County. It saves me on packing materials and you on shipping costs. ------------------ I am sometimes asked to break up sets. I can't do this for several reasons. It takes time to photograph items for each listing. If a set is broken up, new photographs will have to be taken.Additionally, it takes time to write up each listing. If a set is broken up, the listing would need to be ended and a new listings created. Also, eBay charges by the listing. So if I end a listing of 3 items, and have to relist as a set of 2 and a set of 1, I will have had to pay the listing fee 3 times. It is for these reasons that I only sell items as they are listed and will not break up sets. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
