Description: Stangl Magnolia 4 Dinner Plates Maroon Green Yellow Engobe 1953-1960 HandPainted Exquisite Decorative STANGL POTTERY Set of 4 DINNER PLATES 10 1/8", MAGNOLIA Light Green Engobe w/Leaves Dark Green, White & Maroon Magnolia Flowers, from Trenton, New Jersey, USA, 1953-1960 DESCRIPTION: The beautiful dinner plates were decorated (hand painted) in the Magnolia pattern which was produced from 1952-1978. As is true with all hand painted items, they each display unique variations. Stangl's expertise was with engobes (white) and sgraffito (hand carving & hand painting). The pattern is classic and the large dinner plates really make a statement. We have multiple sets of 4 dinner plates. The last set we sell will have the plate pictured in photos #6 & #11. Please check our eBay store for other items in the Stangl Magnolia pattern. CONDITION: While this dinner plate set is classified as used, the condition is superb. The last set we sell will have the plate pictured in photos #6 & #11 that shows a rim chip. There are no other chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. See the photos where we show you a full frontal view of 4 typical plates with sectional close-ups. These plates were fired on a 3 prong stilt in the kiln and this always leaves a mark on the back of the plate. You can see an example of this in photo #13. DIMENSIONS: The dinner plates have a height of 7/8"and a diameter of 10 1/8". HISTORY/MARKS: The Hill Pottery Company was founded by Samuel Hill in 1814, in Flemington, New Jersey. Hill Pottery produced utilitarian items. When Samuel Hill, died the company was purchased in 1858 by Abram Fulper, a former employee. He renamed the company The Fulper Pottery Company. Under Fulper's guidance, the company extended their line to include stoneware articles and tile. By the early 1900’s Fulper Pottery, run by William Hill Fulper II, began experimentation with art pottery. In 1910 Fulper Pottery hired Johan Martin Stangl as a ceramic chemist and technical assistant even though he was only 22 at the time. Martin Stangl was soon promoted to superintendent with total control of the plant employees including the foremen. Stangl left Fulper in 1914 and began working for Haeger Brick and Tile Company, but in 1918 he returned to Fulper and became Vice President. In 1926 Stangl was promoted to President. As president Stangl created the Fulper/Stangl logo. Upon William Fulper's death in 1928, Martin Stangl bought William Fulper's share of the Fulper Pottery Company and changed the Fulper/Stangl brand names and logos to the Stangl trademark. A major fire in 1929 destroyed plant #1 prompting the movement of the Stangl dinnerware production to the previously acquired Anchor Pottery plant in Trenton, NJ which is 23 miles south of Flemington. In October 1941, Kay Hackett was hired as a dinnerware designer. Her expertise was with engobes (white) and sgraffito (hand carving & hand painting). Prior to 1952, white engobe was hand applied. By 1950, a process to spray the engobe was developed to reduce labor costs. In 1952, a green engobe spray was introduced & used on the Star Flower and Magnolia patterns. This Stangl Magnolia dinner plates carry the 3 slash mark which indicates it was produced in 1953, 4 slashes for 1954, IX for 1959 or X for 1960 while the pattern was produced in 1952-1978.
