It is a mystery when and where Valentine’s Day originated. If you look online there are dozens of posts with varying opinions. Most historians agree it became a time for celebration of romance and love around the 14th or 15th centuries. Today it is treated as a global holiday as flowers, candy, fancy dinners, vacations and jewelry abound.
Throughout the decades, special items became symbolic of Valentine’s Day. This vintage Italian hand painted heart shaped plate is from JW Co. and a rare find in this design. It retails for about $50.00-$75.00.
