Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Vintage Promotional Advertising Plate c1916 Newark, NJ Huffman & Pashkaw Furniture Co VERY RARE Offered for sale is a what I believe to be a grand opening advertising plate from the Huffman & Pashkaw Furniture Co. in Newark, NJ around 1916 when the company was incorporated by William Hoffman, Nathan Pashkaw and Solomon Strauss. The business was located at 71 Market Street, Newark, New Jersey. The plate has a hand-painted gold leaf flourished border with a stamped image of Washington at Valley Forge in the middle. The image appears to be modified from an original engraving by Johnson, Fry and Co., 1866, and may have been created just for this plate. The plate was made by the Edwin M. Knowles China Company with the vase design back-stamp (first used in 1915) with Vitreous and the numbers 15-2-5. The numbers would seem to indicate that the plate was actually made in February 1915. It would have been stamped later with the Hoffman & Pashkaw Furniture logo. Because bone china and porcelain are exposed to such high temperatures, their clays fuse together, making them vitreous. Vitreous items absorb less than 3 percent moisture. Semi-vitreous pieces absorb from 3 to 7 percent moisture, and they tend to be more prone to staining because they can absorb more moisture than vitreous porcelain. This is probably why this plate has no stains. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks, only some inconspicuous crazing as would be expected given its age. Some of the gold leaf looks worn or perhaps that is just the way it was stamped because the plate was never used. The plate belonged to a friend of mine who did not know how she came to possess it.
