The listing, Vintage BOOTHS Silicon China "Lowestoft Border" Mini Plate SEE DETAILS has ended.
Up for auction is a Booths Silicon China Mini Plate in the "Lowestoft Border" with crazing all over it. If you are not familiar with the term "crazing", take a look at the pics of the back of the plate especially. You can see the tiny hairline fissures or cracks in the fired glazed surface. Crazing generally happens when a piece ages, but can be caused by changes in temp or humidity or being bumped around a lot. Whether or not it affects the value of the piece is a personal choice. Some don't mind crazing, most do. On this piece you don't have to worry about eating off of it and getting the bacteria in the cracks into the food since it is a decorative piece only Not for food.
