    Hey all:

    Ms. G and I found these Meissen plates in a small antique mall in Iowa, USA of all places. The dealer knew what they had, but these plates were a bit "over market" for the venue, and she was glad to make a deal.

    I was stunned by their beauty. I can see why people would go bonkers for these things. Plus...I envisioned them on our dark walnut buffet, and I think it worked out pretty well! The bottom plate is supposed to be from the 18th Century, and I think the others are from the 19th. Please let me know if you know anything about them.

    Very nice, Gh! That buffet keeps getting even more handsome each time I see it.

    Meissen plates are just wonderful as a rule. But I can't really see them all that well. If you want info specific to your plates, I would have to see them up close including the back stamp. Or you can just carry on and enjoy them on your buffet.

    I used to buy gorgeous Haviland plates on ebay from a seller in LA. Then she got married to a farmer and moved to Iowa. I always used to wonder "how did this (gorgeous object) end up in a place like Iowa. Now I know. Some time, I should post photos of some of the plates I bought from her.
