Description: Anchor Hocking Opalescent "Moonstone" 4-Piece Set Dessert/B&B Plates, 6 3/8" DiamPicture shows 9 plates. 1st set sold will ship 5. 2nd set sold will be 4. The limited and simple number of different production items in the line lent the "small" plates to become both "dessert" or "bread & butter" plates. Dinner / Salad plates were 8 1/2" On the heels of the Great Depression during WWII, Anchor Hocking produced Moonstone from 1942 thru 1946, a very short run of five years. A beautiful, fun, inexpensive, simplistic in number of items, yet durable tableware that they turned out by the "seemingly millions" :-). Homemakers needed a little fun during the war, and glass was not affected by wartime shortages. :-) The creamy white opalescence is on the hobnails & edges only, not drifting down from the top. This technique, along with the limited items, allowed Anchor to produce via factory-line selling at a fraction of the competition, producing hand-blown art glass. It was all a relatively short run anyway as glass factories began shuttering in the 50's. $hipping via Ground Advantage, same/next day, combined via "calculation" by eBay with other of my listings. Sincere thanks for visiting :-)Mark
