old & antique milk glass plates lot, lace edge pattern glass plates, very ornate

Lot of nineteen old and antique milk glass plates, all with lacy reticulated edge patterns. Some were meant as tableware, others made as decorative pieces, but the whole lot makes a beautiful collection.

The plates range in size from 5 1/4" to 9 1/4" in diameter, and the color varies too - from a pale watery almost translucent color to an opaque white milk glass. Many of these have no maker's marks.

Nearly all of these pieces have at least a few chips or roughnesses, and some have finish wear or traces of paint. They're mostly early to mid 20th century pieces, pressed pattern glass.
