<p>[QUOTE="John Brassey, post: 3692389, member: 15277"]I bought this tiny plaque on eBay where it was listed as porcelain but now that it has arrived I realise that it is wafer thin metal (possibly copper). It is very finely painted with a still life of grapes. Sadly it has a very fine crack (hard to see). It's outside my area of knowledge so can anybody identify it for me. My gut feeling is that it is early 19th century but no ideas other than that. There are old paper labels on the back so I don't think that it's from the lid of a patch box or similar.[ATTACH=full]311396[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]311397[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]311398[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
