[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 3216424, member: 12382"]Hello, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm hoping to double my 'collection' of antique blue and white plates - which currently stands at just one item ! I'd be grateful if any experts out there would be able to suggest the possible age and origin of the plate pictured below. I've tried online to find out whether the absence of a foot rim gives any help to pinning down an age range, but unfortunately drew a blank. I believe the plate to be probably c18th or maybe even c17th, but I'm no expert ! There are some minor edge chips, probably due to the metal mounting, but the plate is otherwise (allegedly) in good nick. I've got the chance to purchase the plate, but am currently umm-ing and aah-ing as it's not cheap (€180). Furthermore the two hour drive to examine the plate in person is a bit off-putting, so I am currently deliberating whether to buy by post - plus the risks that come with it. Thanks in advance for any contributions whatsoever !!! [ATTACH=full]296725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296728[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
