    I just got and I have noticed that there are no "red" peacock feathers on other similar pieces. I am not sure if this is good or bad. Does anyone have insight on this? Everything is pointing that it is real, but unsure since I can't see anything just like it out on the internet. IMG_0760.jpg IMG_0761.jpg

    Before you go one step further, you would be smart to take that metal hanger of of that plate....they are HIGHLY KNOWN FOR BREAKING & CHIPPING THE PLATES..... AND BE VERY CAREFUL IN DOING SO!!!! But the plate is LOVELY!!!! Someone else may recognize the marks, as well....sorry, but not I!!

    True, the ones I know have green feathers. Which doesn't mean there is anything wrong with yours, just something to research.
    Maybe @say_it_slowly knows.:)

    If she doesn't know, you could send these people a mail, they have been very helpful in the past:

    I wish I had an answer.

    Certainly iron red was used fairly early as it could withstand some higher heat along with a few others colors such as some yellows and greens etc. Cobalt blue held up best to heat so was often in highest heat firing with other colors applied after and fired lower. (Just a generalization as my non-expert self understands. Delftware wasn't made in the exact same manner everywhere)

    De Klaauw (Klauw) had a long history from the mid 17th to the mid 19th C and said to have reproduced marks.

    Try the link AJ gave above or browse some of the other info from this site. Please let us know if you find any definitive.

    I think that the fact that your piece has a Guest and Gray stamp is enough for you to be satisfied . They are a specialist company dealing with high end antiques.

    Hopefully this link works: https://chinese-porcelain-art.com/pages/
    John Brassey beat me to it, but googling the name brought up the London firm. Don't take the label off as it is part of the provenance.

    Seconded on getting rid of the plate hanger. I take wire cutters to them; they can eat plates.
