[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 631108, member: 5833"]Thanks everyone. Gives me several questions to ask the seller. Photos are so out of focus, it's difficult to be sure of some features. I'm reading them as the piece being glazed, not the bisque quality of jasper ware - type pottery. So that's one question. In overall shape & nature of subject matter, it has a lot of resemblance to Schafer und Vater plates I could find, but, again, they are all described as jasper ware & could not find one with this design. I have a framed plaque I think is theirs, although I think there's another well known competitor? My memory for names is terrible. Other than Wedgwood, I keep forgetting. The color also seems off to me for S&V, not the bright sage. Next question is whether the photos have good color fidelity; I think lighting used made everything in pix more yellow that reality. In all the photos of the underside, I think here & there I see a gap where the bottom meets the rim. What's going on here? Another thing to confirm with seller. When I get some answers, hope you will all help to reassess with any new information. :):kiss:[/QUOTE]
