Imperial Homestead Signed Nuart Purple Chop Plate

We purchased this plate at the SCCGC (Southern California Carnival Glass Club) convention auction in 2015. We had seen others in the past but this one really spoke to us.

We love the way the iridescence highlights the pattern so vividly and the mold strike is so crisp and defined. Depending on the changing light through out the day, this plate has many different moods and we love them all! This plate has the Nuart signature on it.

We were told later that this plate once belonged to Roy Kato who had purchased it from Gary Lickver. (I think most glass passes through Gary's hands at one time or another!)
