This is EGG season!
Spring means you take plates of deviled eggs to family events.
Of course, my family has them no matter what
the season, but, Easter is THE time for you to bring out the pretty egg plates.
The concept of a “deviled” egg comes from
mixing the yolks with mustard and spices.
It made its first appearance in print in 1786.
“Stuffed”
eggs actually date back to Roman times.
Whether you “stuff” or “Devil”, it is time to find some special plates
for your dinner table.
Egg plates have
the special egg shaped depression where each half of an egg can sit without sliding off
the plate.
Very clever!
These egg plates were made here in the U.S.
in the 1930’s.
They were made from
popular Depression glass patterns.
Duncan
& Miller Glass Company most likely made the first plate in their American
Sandwich Glass pattern.
Since that time,
so many different patterns, colors and styles of egg plates have been
manufactured!
They are highly
collectible and can be displayed in so many different ways, not just on your dinner table.
South End Antique Mall vendors are starting
to bring in a variety of plates in time for Easter.
Be sure you stop by and check out what we
have to offer!
