"The Northern" Hand-painted Greenwood China, Trenton NJ Ironstone PLate stumpwork as invariably their original cardboardAs a lover of found language, I love this old plate just for the phrase "The Northern," which to me invites thoughts of the North Star, traveling due North guided by the night sky maybe toward the Canadian border to safety! Plus I love that the "The" matches that of The New York Times pretty much exactly. It is (faintly) stamped Greenwood China, Trenton, NJ on the back, which seems to have operated 1890 c. 1929, supplying serving ware to many hotels,
