[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4347633, member: 51"]This was at Goodwill today ($2.99) and I picked it up thinking it was such a lovely plate for a holiday table I know probably not huge value either way, but I liked it decoratively and would only want it if the real deal. Learning experience either way! The bottom marked w/impressed "Wedgwood" and initials. Plus some numbering that I thought might be inventory marks for an estate possibly. 10 inches in diameter. But here is what bothers me a touch and got me wondering if it could be a fake. (Were fakes even made of this kind of thing??) It shows zero wear. Also the weight for an older plate feels a bit off -- like it almost could be metal? Like it would "ring" a bit like metal if you tapped it.
