Pfaltzgraff Naturewood Appraisal

Pfaltzgraff Naturewood Collection Ceramic Plate and Bowl

This set includes glazed ceramic dinnerware from the Pfaltzgraff 'Naturewood' collection, featuring a soft, warm yellow-ochre base glaze with a distinctive hand-painted aesthetic. The design incorporates a botanical motif with dark green leaves, reddish-brown stems, and small white berry accents along the rim. The construction is heavy stoneware, characteristic of late 20th-century American casual dining sets. Notable features include a slightly scalloped or textured edge on the plate and a debossed maker's mark consisting of the Pfaltzgraff castle logo within a circle, located on the unglazed foot ring of the bowl's underside. The glaze shows a mottled, watercolor-like finish that suggests a rustic, artisanal style. Condition-wise, the pieces appear to be in good vintage condition with no visible chips or heavy crazing, though light surface scratches from utensil use may be present upon closer inspection. The style is quintessentially 1990s country-garden decor, prioritizing durability and a warm, homey aesthetic. The craftsmanship is consistent with high-volume, quality-controlled commercial pottery production from this era.
