Help with identification - 8 point blue painted asterisk on Handpainted flower plate

any help with identification would be much appreciated!
Thankyou

 

Hi Miss Kasia!

Welcome to Antiquers............

Help will be along.......just keep checking back.

Pretty plate by the way.

 

I bet that's Italian.

 

Looks like a Nove piece to me

 

Nicely painted, I also think it's Italian. Not terribly old but decorative, the entire bottom and especially where the slip is molded in the center of the foot - looks like home ceramics fired in a small kiln to me. Please wait for other opinions, I do not know who the maker was.

 

Hi and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS, @Miss Kasia Zawadzka!! I can't help with your pretty plate, but am wondering if that's what 'they' used to call "soft paste" ??

 

I think it is soft paste - it’s quite chunky rather than fine. just thought it was an interesting piece especially as I can’t find anything the same! Or the mark!

 

Thanks I thought it’s Italian or German with the flowers. The only 8 point asterisk I found was Minton and I think they’re impressed.

 

I was thinking that but is the le Nove star not normally thicker (Knowledge from my google search - new to this so just asking).

 

I thought Nove just looking at the front. The star is not quite the same but it’s possible that the painter did it wrong - they wouldn’t scrap it. Google Nove pieces rather than marks and you will see it is in their style.

 

Nove meaning "newer piece"

Agreed!

 

AFAIK, no. Soft paste refers to porcelain — soft paste, hard paste, and bone china. This piece is pottery.

 

Ohhhhh so what’s pottery? Clay?

 

That’s interesting! Thanks

 

Thanks for the clarification!!! I SO wasn't sure at all!!

 

Tin glazed pottery, that is.
