Thanks for all of the welcoming posts. I have to say, finding something on my first venture was really exciting. In reference to the earlier post, it is actually in great shape. There are no chips and all of the paint is in great condition. It's a 9" dinner plate. After looking on replacements.com It looks the most like the harvest or the folk art groupings they have. Thanks again!

Antique Questions Forum / New to collecting, my first buy.

Hello, everyone I always loved viewing collectibles and antiques but had never moved into buying. Well, today i went to the thrift store and following the advice of cheap and well marked I picked up this piece. It's a Pennsbury Pottery piece. They were a Pennsylvania company from 1951-1971. I found quite a bit of listings on the net, but could not find any mention of this particular piece. The mark is Pennsbury Pottery 1029 D. Whatever the value, I think it may have been a great way to spend my first dollar twenty-five as a collector. Thanks!
