Notes: Nothing is known about this floral pattern other than what is shown on the backstamp: Kerr Decal 11 -M- 1-2-35.

Paul C. Mattson was a designer for Carr China from 1934 to 1937. It is believed that anything backstamped with a version of Mattson's signature was a sample. The -M- is Paul Mattson's signature and the Jan. 2, 1935, date corresponds to his time at the Carr plant.

White body plate with a dark green pinstripe around the outer edge of the rim. Around the rim are three drawings of stylized orange-red roses complete with green thorned stems and green leaves. Interestingly the dark green pinstripe has a single thorn protruding from the stripe midway between each drawing.
