Fenton Orange Tree Blue Plate

Mike & I attended the Christina Katsikas auction earlier this year at HOACGA's 2017 convention. Mike really had his heart set on this 9-inch plate and was determined to bring it home. Nothing else spoke to him in quite the same way as this plate did and, because he had lost out on another one at an earlier auction, there was no stopping him on this one.

I was so happy for him when he had the winning bid! And better yet, this plate was even prettier than the one he lost out on! Thank you Christina!

The Mike & Nanci Messana Collection

Note from the editor: You are very welcome Nanci & Mike. This plate is very beautiful! I had to giggle when I read your article because it came from one of your favorite mentors, Gary Lickver, from his room sales at the Tampa Bay Convention ages ago. It came from his personal collection, Please enjoy this fabulous new addition to your collection in good health!
