The Briar Rose pattern was made by Schumann from 1961 to 1981. The gold trim is stunning, better than any other gold edge trim patterns I've seen by any maker. No chips, cracks or crazing, and only minimal utensil marks. No gold trim loss on any. You are getting SIX approximately 7 3/4" SALAD plates. These weigh ALMOST 4 pounds BEFORE packing, shipping is based on 5 pounds. I bubble wrap and pack well.
