Gibson Everyday Ceramic Dinner Plate (underside)

This item is the underside of a white ceramic dinner plate, manufactured by Gibson Everyday. The plate appears to be round, though only the bottom is visible. The primary material is ceramic, likely earthenware or stoneware given the 'Everyday' branding, with a glossy white glaze covering the majority of the surface. The design on a functional side is not visible. The backstamp is centrally located and prominently features the 'Gibson' logo, which includes a stylized 'G' incorporating a rose and the word 'EVERYDAY' above it. Below the logo, the URL 'WWW.GIBSONUSA.COM' is printed, followed by care instructions: 'HANDWASH RECOMMENDED' and 'NOT FOR MICROWAVE USE'. At the very bottom of the backstamp, 'CHINA' indicates the country of manufacture. A notable feature is the reddish-brown staining and wear visible along the unglazed foot rim. This suggests regular use and potential exposure to food, dishwashing, or general handling, indicating a functional rather than decorative piece. The word 'JANET' is handwritten in black, permanent marker on the glazed surface to the right of the backstamp, possibly indicating ownership or a personalized marking. The presence of this handwriting, along with the staining on the rim, suggests the plate is used. The overall condition appears fair to good for a used 'everyday' item, with no overt cracks or chips visible in this view, though surface scratches or glaze imperfections are not discernible. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced ceramic dinnerware.
