Fairy Tale Plates
A set of four Fairy Tale plates was issued in the early 1970s in an iridized pastel blue color. The maker is Indiana Glass Co. of Dunkirk Indiana and they were made as a Tiara Exclusive. In non-iridized glass, the plates are found in amber, blue and crystal.

The plates are 6 1/4 inches in diameter with the pattern on the reverse side. The reverse pattern is in the glass not raised off the glass. The plates may have a border of Dutch children holding hands and dancing as shown in the two plates above. Some plates have bears in the border. It seems that the border is inter-changable. Only the front is iridized. The front has no pattern except beading around the outer edge.

The plate on the left says "Hey! Diddle. Diddle." and shows a cat playing a fiddle and a cow jumping over the moon. The plate on the right says "This little pig went to market" and shows a pig riding in a cart.

The two plates not shown are: Little Bo Beep which reads "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them" and Three Bears which shows the three bears in the nursery rhyme Goldilocks.
