    Hello everyone - I could use some help with this Copeland plate. I don't understand the subject matter of this 10 3/8" plate. I get that there are guys talking in a tavern but I can't figure out what the random letters represent. It has an impressed Copeland Spode mark which I believe dates it to from 1847-1867. Thanks very much for whatever insights you can provide.

    I believe it's "Syr Andrew, Syr Toby & the Clown" (Feste) - from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night...

    Here's a tile version:

    Oh, dear. Somehow I got through 16 years of schooling without ever taking a course in Shakespeare! Thank you very much!
