Featured help with tin glaze faience plate

hey guys

i swore id never buy another plate again, but couldnt resist buying this for a couple of quid

seems a bit sloppy, but hoping it might have a little bit of age to make up for it

measures 9 1/2 " diameter

looks like some kinda messed up wolf

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

I always steer clear of plates, any pottery, glassware, etc. I am so clueless. Looks like it could be a dragon, Chesaroo.

 

thanks buddy, dragon makes more sense than messed up wolf

 

Lol, but I did enjoy, "messed up wolf."

 

Charming! I'd have snagged it,
@charlie cheswick!

 

Looks Spanish. But don't think necessarily old.

Fire breathing reptilian Leprechaun??

 

It looks like a simplistic or crude version of Italian Deruta.

The raised part in the middle makes me wonder if this was an under plate for something.

 

Was wondering why the middle part was raised, that would explain all the damage around Just that particular area

 

Could be inh, I can't really make sense of any of the decoration, don't know what those wormy things are supposed to be either !

 

For something like this I guess then

Is it Deruta pottery?

Here's a nice deruta, like yours...

 

Aha, seems to be the same Fire breathing reptilian Leprechaun

Thanks scouts

 

It is charming, and a dragon, so what's not to like.
It may not be top quality Deruta, but it does look Italian to me. It has age, and this is another case where we really miss Walter. We miss him anyway of course.

 

Thanks Aj, great info. I suppose even though it's only an under plate, still could be ok for a decorative item

Gonna be quite hard to pinpoint an age to it me thinks

 

I agree.
Maybe someone will be along later who can tell you more about the age.
