A holiday plaid plate from a Georgia balloon and gift company
This Burton & Burton plaid plate is a hand-painted ceramic plate sold through Burton & Burton of Bogart, Georgia. The company began in 1982, when Maxine Burton started selling balloons out of the back room of Flowers, Inc. Wholesale, the florist supply business she ran with her husband Bob.
The business grew into what it calls the world's largest balloon and coordinating gift supplier, selling balloons, plush, home decor and gift items to florists and gift shops. It is still based in Bogart, with showrooms in Atlanta and Dallas, and has used the name burton + BURTON since 2006.
The red and green tartan makes this a Christmas or winter piece. Plates like this were usually sold in gift shops and florists as part of seasonal tabletop lines.

A glossy red and green tartan plate with a Burton & Burton backstamp
The Burton & Burton hand-painted plaid plate is a small round ceramic plate covered edge to edge in a red and dark green tartan. Broad red bands cross at angles to leave dark green squares, and thin olive green lines run through the red. A molded ring shows through the glaze around the center, and the glaze is very glossy.

About the Burton & Burton plaid plate
Who made the Burton & Burton plaid plate?
It was made in China and hand-painted for Burton & Burton, a balloon and gift supplier in Bogart, Georgia that sells to florists and gift shops.
How old is it?
There's no date on it. Burton & Burton started in 1982 and later renamed itself burton + BURTON in 2006. The plate most likely dates from the 1990s to 2010s, but that's an estimate.
Is it really hand-painted?
The backstamp says so, and the slightly uneven edges of the plaid blocks fit brushwork rather than a printed decal.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
The backstamp says it is dishwasher safe.
What is it worth?
