<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 11215089, member: 308&quot;]I think the red may have been a deliberate attempt to obscure the mark. The JPL mark used here is most likely a green mark which would indicate that the dish was originally sold as whiteware. It was a fairly common practice to obscure whitewarae marks so the piece couldn&#039;t be confused with pieces actually decorated by JPL. It was sold blank most likely to an independent decorating shop. The decorating shop painted it and then either attached it to the base themselves or sold it on to another decorator who added the base. It wasn&#039;t an unusual arrangement, somewhat similiar to the way lamps were produced. There&#039;s just no way to know for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
