<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 312002, member: 50&quot;]It looks 18th C to me but zeroing in on the origin I&#039;m not sure. I agree that there are feather designs on Dutch Delft but I&#039;m not sure I&#039;ve seen this particular version.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some generalizations I think, if there is crazing then it&#039;s an indication that it&#039;s probably British rather than Dutch however lack of crazing doesn&#039;t eliminate British. The flat bottom shape is usually an earlier shape once you get past some of the very early pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did look through the books in the photo (too lazy to type but with more British than other) without seeing this pattern or any close. I figure it might keep anyone from wondering what might be in these. I wouldn&#039;t read anything in to that as it&#039;s a fairly simple pattern and those that make it to print are often elaborate. I didn&#039;t delve into the text.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here are two guides to plate shape dating that you might use as a guide though they both are primarily referring to British tin-glazed delftware.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]103272[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]103277[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]103278[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]103279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
