[QUOTE="MS_H3LLFIRE, post: 1545649, member: 13651"]Oh I'm sorry about the pics. I'm not sure why are showing up small. They were huge on my monitor. I'm having a hard time deciding if the mark is above or below the glaze. I feel the texture very slightly. Would it be something I could feel if its below the glaze? The flowers in the front. I would say definitely a transferred design. The flowers/leaves do have some dots but I thought it was just part of the pattern. Looking at it closer it appears the pattern was cut because the bottom where the blue flowers are, the blue flower is incomplete. Further to the left of it is an incomplete leafe that lines up perfectly. There is also a barely noticeable shadow that runs across. The top of the floral pattern appears to have been more carefully cut along the flowers. Hmm I didn't notice any of that before. I used to never care about older things but now that I'm getting older I seem to appreciate the older things more. And while this plate likely has no real value I am still fascinated by how it was made. The plate itself is not very thick well at least not to me. My children stole my ruler but the thickness of the rim is very close to the thickness of a US Nickel[/QUOTE]
