Here's a rare plate by Southern Potteries Inc, Blue Ridge Pottery, in their "Chicken Pickins" pattern.  My research indicates that Chicken Pickins was manufactured in the late 1940s, possibly into the early 1950s.  It was made on the "Skyline" body and is number 4206.  The central design is a hen and rooster, along with a section of black fence. It is trimmed in coordinating green and red swipes of color.
The plate measures 9 1/4" diameter.  It has no chips, nicks or cracks. There are utensil marks on the eating surface, evident when held in reflective light, from normal use. The glossy surface is not badly worn, in my opinion, but the marks are there.  I am originally listing a quantity of 6 of these plates.  All of them are in the same condition and have the same Blue Ridge mark. Please note that minor manufacturing flaws, common with this pottery, may be present but nothing that detracts.
Please feel free to email with any questions prior to bidding or buying. I try to give any information I have about the listings, and to tell you whether the information is fact or opinion. I have a "full refund option" (see returns below) policy for anything I misrepresent. My description will point out anything I find that could possibly be considered a flaw. For this reason, many past buyers felt that they received a better product than they expected.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING CHARGES: The bulk of my items ship via USPS. I use FedEx Ground for larger and more valuable packages. I use padded envelopes, peanuts, bubble wrap, and Styrofoam packaging as necessary to ensure safe arrival. Free pick up in Williston, FL is an option. If you live on the west coast please allow that transit time and costs will be more than average from Florida. I’m happy to combine multiple purchases, paid for at the same time, into one package to save on shipping.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: You can use the drop down in the shipping calculator to choose your country and calculate shipping if I have made it available. If you don't see your country please message for a quote and I will let you know if I can ship to you.
A telephone number is recommended for use on customs documents. Buyers are responsible for all customs fees or duties charged by their country. I do not falsify customs forms.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Once you examine your purchase, please email, or leave positive feedback, to confirm receipt and satisfaction. If you encounter any problem with your service or product, I ask that you contact me, via eBay, so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue.
FEEDBACK: I leave feedback weekly for customers with cleared payments. Once you have received your purchase, please consider leaving me the best feedback possible. If my service or product did not meet your expectations in any way please contact me.
