A set of two vintage salad plates by International China in the Marmalade pattern, number 8868, made in Japan. Each plate features two white geese standing in front of a country-style crock decorated with a soft blue ribbon. Small flowers, fruit, and foliage surround the central design, while additional floral and fruit accents decorate the scalloped rims. The stoneware has a warm, cream-colored background with fine brown speckling throughout. A soft blue-green border follows the gently scalloped edges, complementing the muted pink, blue, yellow, and gray tones of the decoration. These plates reflect the country kitchen style popular during the 1980s and are suitable for everyday table settings or as replacements for an existing Marmalade dinnerware collection.

History
International China Company produced a variety of decorative stoneware dinnerware patterns during the latter part of the 20th century. The Marmalade pattern, number 8868, was introduced around 1986 and manufactured in Japan. It reflects the American country decorating style that became especially popular during the 1980s. Geese were a familiar motif in kitchens of that period, appearing on dinnerware, canisters, linens, curtains, and other household accessories. Soft colors, floral accents, and rustic designs were commonly used to create a comfortable, country-inspired appearance. Marmalade combined these elements with a speckled stoneware finish, scalloped edges, and a distinctive goose illustration.
The pattern has since been discontinued.
