You never know what you will find when you are shopping for
costumes at Goodwill – two plates in my Pfaltzgraff Snow Bear pattern for $.50 each! Now if I can only find a
replacement for the square luncheon plate with the skating Snow Bear that
Spencer broke.
Snow Bear is a
Pfaltzgraff pattern with the delightful fun of a winter day Seasonal motifs,
holiday colors and a big, cuddly polar bear will bring this heart-warming
feeling to a dinner table all winter.
I love the square luncheon plates. This
hand-painted earthenware plate makes a charming addition to my Snow
Bear dinnerware. Trudging through the snow, the cuddly white polar bear
on the plate is carrying an evergreen bough over its shoulder. The scarf around
the bears neck is echoed in the plates red-plaid border with folded corners
that resemble those of a green woolen blanket.
Pfaltzgraff Snow Bear
was first introduced in 2001 and made in the US until October 2005. Sadly this pattern was retired December 31, 2006.
It is
amazing what goodies that can be found at Goodwill. My friend's holiday pattern is Winterberry by Pfaltzgraff and I found a new in the box 8-Inch Stoneware Trivet and
eight 7” plates that could be used as a ‘bread', 'dessert', 'piece of fruit', or the
'sneaking a snack' plate.
Pfaltzgraff’s
Winterberry has been a holiday classic for over 20 years with it’s bright holly
berries, embossed accents and tree-green banding, on glossy white. One nice
feature about the Winterberry collection is that although holiday related it
can be used before and after Christmas since it doesn't have a Christmas tree
on it. Winterberry is a beautiful design and possibly the best-loved holiday pattern and
makes a festive companion to any holiday table.
