Pattern: Vintage Fruit / Dessert Bowl, Taylor Smith & Taylor (TS&T), Scroll Border #1797, Set of 2 (Discontinued)
Made in USA
Vintage: 1942 - 1945
Details: This is a very beautiful and very old china pattern. It has brown scrolls all along the border surrounded by tiny flowers with green leaves. It has a gold rim and a gold verge (a gold ring on the inside circumference of the plate) and flowers in the center. The border is smooth which is important to note because there are three variations of this pattern. The first variation has a smooth border, but no gold in the center (no verge); that's pattern #1631 by Taylor Smith. The second variation is, again, no gold in the center (no verge), but the rim is not smooth, it is wavy/ swirled, that's #TST180 by Taylor Smith. The third variation is this one we are offering here, a smooth rim and gold verge (center), this one is #1797. If you are trying to match the patterns exactly, then these variations will be important. This is a set of two bowls, one of the bowls has a worn out back stamp, we are showing the stamp in the pictures for confirmation of manufacturer, the other bowl a worn, illegible mark.
