Help with identifying plate

Category
Pottery
Condition
Fair
Description

I have a pair of these plates. They are in reasonable condition but one has a couple of chips on the underside of the rim. There is no makers mark. I think they may come under the category of creamware. Does anyone know what these plates might be and if the are of any value.

Caribbean Island Plantation Cane Chair

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

This cane chair with wide paddle arms is in very good sturdy condition with only a few scratches and knicks. Do not know what wood it is made of, quite possibly mahogany. And the caning is original and in very good condition, too.

Total height is 35", length is 48" and width is 35-1/4". The top is 22-1/2" wide and the seat is 24-3/4" wide. The bottom is 8-1/2" from the floor and the edge of the seat is 13" from the floor. The paddle arms are 36" long and 9-1/2" at the widest part. The extended wide-paddled arms were so the plantation owners in the Caribbean could rest their legs on. It sits low to the ground, with a lolling back, very comfortable!

We have had it for over 40 years now. It was originally given to us after being stored for many years in a boathouse in Boston, Mass. The hand-sewn natural fiber pad is well worn and came with the chair originally when we aquired it. Although I don't believe the pad was made at the same time as the chair due to the fact that these types of chairs were made by the slaves at the plantation for their owners. The woven furniture from hardy native rattans, not only stood up to the tropical climate better than upholstered pieces, but also the openings that allow air to circulate more freely, so no pad would have been used back then. But may have been added after coming to the north. I have made a cream-colored cover for the padding that will be included.

This chair is believed to be one of a kind.
