Provenance. The first pieces of this pattern were given to the parents of Ancestral Antiques’ owner at Christmastime, just as the young newlyweds were beginning their lives together. From that first holiday in the early 1950s, through the years, the “turkey dishes” have become a cherished family tradition that often meant children and grandchildren were home for the holidays. This pattern is perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, or a year-round display in your china hutch.
