This is a set of 6 plates. The color is part of the glass and adds to the beauty of these plates that will go with a bowl (centerpiece) that is also available. The fruits are pressed into the glass underneath and painted in the natural color. If you like these plates, check out the complimentary centerpiece to match.
Scratches can be observed when you hold the plates up to a dark background at skewed angle.
Goofus glass is pressed glass which was decorated with cold, unfired paint in the early 20th century in America...Major producers included Indiana Glass buy Company, Dugan Diamond Company and H.

Most Goofus Glass dates from the period of about ten to fifteen years around the turn of the last century, (1897 to around 1912) although it continued to be produced into the 1920s. ... It went out of fashion when Carnival Glass became very popular (from 1908 onwards). http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/goofusglass.html
