<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 360128, member: 308&quot;]1.&nbsp; Bronwen has identified it correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Your violets plates is a studio decorated piece on a Limoges blank.&nbsp; Limoges is actually a region in France know for its porcelain and B&amp;Co. (which stands for Bernardaud &amp; Co.) is in that area.&nbsp; The mark dates from 1900-1914.&nbsp; Stouffer was a decorating studio based in Chicago.&nbsp; They bought the plate undecorated from Bernardaud and hand painted the decoration at their studio.&nbsp; The Stouffer mark dates from 1906-1914.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>3. European but I can&#039;t comment much beyond that.&nbsp; It&#039;s out of my wheelhouse but I would guess Italian or other Southern European.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; Pretty much as you described it.&nbsp; Nippon hand painted plate with cattail decoration.&nbsp; May have been part of a larger set originally.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you are correct in that none of these is particularly valuable.&nbsp; House of Webster was a bit restricted in the patterns they produced.&nbsp; It has some collector value but under $15.&nbsp; Stouffer is also collectible but frankly that&#039;s not one of their better pieces.&nbsp; If the decoration was more elaborate, the painting by a known by a know Chicago china artist, and it had extensive gold trim it could be worth some bucks.&nbsp; As it is I&#039;d probably put it in my Goodwill box.&nbsp; The bowl is really pretty neat and in the right kitchen could look really cool.&nbsp; It&#039;s value is primarily decorative (what someone would be willing to pay to display it in their kitchen).&nbsp; And finally while the Nippon plate is pretty the same rules apply to it as to the Stouffer.&nbsp; It&#039;s charming but just not elaborate enough to bring big bucks.&nbsp; Having more pieces in the pattern might help.&nbsp; Value around $5.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
