Ah, gotcha. I think it's just a piecework mark. Minton date codes are impressed. Pretty plates.
I think just modern rhinestones. Not well enough set for Austrian or whatever.
That's mad. It's certainly Boyd, I've had these, but they're also definitely pottery.
Certainly hand painted. That backstamp can't be earlier than 1891. It isn't the 1912 onwards one, that says Made in England. I think you're...
Agreed on 1960s, saw a fair few there.
It isn't Hoch Deutsch handwriting though.
Very modern, with those textured backs. Mismatch is a bit odd, but they're pretty.
That's interesting. It doesn't line up with the text though - and isn't that date in the book too late? He was vicar for 18 years from 1835.
Yes, it's wird - that means becomes, but in a context like this, the closest is announce as a translation. You're actually saying becomes her...

First one is Italian filled silver on the first mark - it's a very heavy plating. I'll find a cite for it, but any time from about the 60s...
I'll find you some links, but in a nutshell, pottery is pretty much fired ordinary clay with not a lot added - earthenware, if you will. Bone...
It's most likely to have been made by one of the myriad makers round Birmingham. They sold stuff all over.
Might be a tad earlier, pottery rather than bone china or porcelain, but otherwise fine.
Probably British, mid to late 19th, emulating fine silver. Ivory finial and insulator on the handle. I'm afraid it has almost no value.
My ma used fans, and so do I. I'm rather proud that I can do the one handed snap open and close thing. I treasure Ma's late 18th C ivory one: she...
@reader - Yes, I've seen a lot of this stuff at shows and on shopping channels, with the origin being clearly given as Indonesia.
