<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 232501, member: 44&quot;]Can&#039;t ID the first plate with the 3 vases. I thought it might be &quot;Etruscan&quot; by Hancock &amp; Whittingham, but the vases and background are all wrong or &quot;Etruscan Vases&quot; by T, J, and J Mayer, but again vases, background, border different. The border of your plate seens to be alternating acanthus leaves and lotus?</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd plate is &quot;Wild Rose&quot; &quot;possibly by J. Meir &amp; Son&quot; per Petra Williams&#039; <i>Staffordshire Romantic Transfer Patterns Cups Plates and Early Victoruan Chin</i>a, 1978, p. 464 under the &quot;Scenic Category.&quot; A bit of the description:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The edge... detailed with a white, rounded zigzag line. ... &quot;Wild Rose&quot; border was used and the the central scene of thatched cottage, river, bridge ... [in foreground of fishermen with skiffs and castle/large house in background]... Coyshe states that the first examples were probably made by Bourne, Baker &amp; Bourne in 1830 ...&nbsp; Many potters made this pattern. ...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
