Gorbutt Bowman Apple Salad Plates
Salad Plates

The salad plates have a sgraffito and hand-painted Apple pattern. Jeanne Gorbutt's signature "Jeanne" is scribed into the clay on the front surface. The back of the plates are marked with the Gorbutt Bowman logo.

The mark is upside-down in the photo, but yes, the "B" in Bowman is shaped like a bow. Jeanne Gorbutt was a clever designer!
