Table Mats 
 The collection of The National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of New York on exhibit at Van Cortlandt House Museum includes many fine examples of porcelain.  Among the objects are these four plates which represent the span of the Van Cortlandt family's occupancy of the house from the mid-18th century to the first quarter of the 19th century.  The pink and green Blind Earl Plate (A) and the multi-colored enameled plate with a blue and white rim (B) have both descended in the Van Cortlandt family and are now in the Museum's collection.   Classic blue and white Canton (D) wares are also represented in the Van Cortlandt House Collection.  The blue and orange plate (C) was manufactured by Spode c. 1800.  $13.95 each  Also available in the Canton pattern is a set of 4 beverage coasters.
