Dugan Wishbone & Spades Purple 6-Inch Plate

~A Passion for Small Plates by Sandy Sage~
I love -- and am just a tiny bit obsessed with – collecting small plates. In carnival glass, small plates are generally 6 to 7 inches in diameter with some extending to about 7.5 or even 8 inches. There are three small plates we own that we consider to be outstanding examples and they are the top three plates in our collection. This is one of them.
In 2005 we attended the Sunshine State Carnival Glass Association Convention and auction of the Bernie and Nancy May collection. I think this was probably our fifth carnival glass auction. We fell in love with their electric Dugan 6-inch Wishbone & Spades plate in purple.
This plate was a ten in our books and we were super excited to win it and take home a small plate of this caliber. We also won two other very nice small plates in the auction, an electric 6-inch Imperial Grape purple plate and a green Fenton 6-inch Pinecone plate.
Our collection of small plates has now grown to about thirty. As I am still obsessed with collecting them, the search for more continues!
