AMAZING Vernon Kilns TWEED COLLECTION - 96 MOSTLY NEAR MINT PIECES - MANY HTF!

Description

Item Description:
We are based in southern California and this is a pickup only auction.
We've collected Vernon Kilns for some thirty five years and cobbled this collection of Tweed together over that period of time.  Most of the pieces are in near mint condition and many are hard to find especially in such terrific shape.  As an example, the butter dish and lid are in pristine condition and not showing the pinholes and brown stains seen on the base of most of these butter dishes with which we're sure most Vernon collectors are quite familiar.  The syrup pitcher is also pristine.  There are a few flaws (some of them from the manufacturing process) and they will be delineated below.  All items are in good condition unless otherwise noted in the list.  These pieces were never used by us and only set out for display.  As with all of the plaid patterns produced by Vernon there are variations in the intensity of the color bands with some pieces being a bit lighter or darker than others.  Plates show some utensil marks here and there with some light scratches but nothing major.  And there is little to no crazing.  For the most part this set is in really super condition and we both looked over all of these pieces very carefully and with a loop when needed.  Tweed was produced between 1949 and 1954 with special orders available in 1955.  The piece count for the set includes each individual piece i.e. the carafe and stopper or cup and saucer count as two pieces each.  Additional photos or close ups of any pieces and/or flaws will be happily provided upon request.
Please do not write and ask about selling pieces individually as we are only selling this as a complete set as listed and not breaking it up.
