<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Audrey Muzingo, post: 456389, member: 9508&quot;]I would so appreciate any information or suggestions where else I might ask, regarding this large platter (big enough for a turkey and very heavy).&nbsp; I love the look of delft so I don&#039;t care if it isn&#039;t centuries-old, but it definitely doesn&#039;t look like something that came from Ross or TJ Maxx. What&#039;s odd to me is the complete lack of maker&#039;s mark, especially for such a large and distinctive piece. The back is all white but for tiny fleabites of blue.&nbsp; The outer rim line is not perfectly continuous; it has a few subtle dips inward.&nbsp;&nbsp; The areas you can see where there is dark blue outlining appears to have been etched (?) to partially remove the coloring inside, and then coated extra thick with gloss (which is why these are also the areas with visible wear).&nbsp; There is an unfortunate large damaged area at the 1:00 rim position, which someone partly filled with some kind of white plaster and painted vague detail in blue, I guess so the damage wouldn&#039;t stand out from across the room.&nbsp; Besides being very heavy, the piece has a metallic ring when you thump it.
