Pretty simple: Letter on back corresponds to the year in the table. Notice that the letters repeat at the year 1977. I can't verify the accuracy of this table at the moment but I'm working on it.

| F | 1956 | R | 1968 | D | 1980 |

Beautiful colors and craftsmanship! As good as Syracuse. The plate in the middle is artist signed? Says Designed by Paul Mc Cobb. Isn't McCobb one of those Modernism guys? Well I got it for 25 cents at the local thrift store. The airbrush piece on the right; $15 at a local swap meet.
Couple of nice plates. I really like Jackson pieces!!! Some of my favorites.

Trade Winds plate with flamingo on it. I traded for it!
Wonderful airbrushed lobster platter which I traded a few years ago (plus cash) for something else and now I really really regret it! Sigh.
Paul McCobb signed and designed baby! Bought it for a quarter, sold it for $3.00 on Ebay. What empowerment. So did Eames make any vitrified china? I know Russell Wright did. See
See also Sterling China for Russell Wright stuff.
