This beauty is restaurant ware quality. It could withstand hard commercial use without chipping, cracking or crazing. The finish is shiny and smooth. The pink rose is bold and accented with green leaves.  The band is described as red but appears to lean more to burgundy. Stamped in green on the bottom Syracuse China, NY. Doesn't state the Great Northern RR on plate but research has matched it up. Dates 1949-1951 Measures 6.5" diam
