<p>[QUOTE="Audrey Muzingo, post: 456575, member: 9508"]Thanks for the info so far, ya'll! I actually started Googling in earnest after making this post last night and learned this was a 'Willow' pattern, but I too could not find this particular one anywhere, and I mean I looked at probably THOUSANDS. I read that there were literally hundreds of crafters making these and those with the lack of registry mark is frustrating to everyone. I think what is strangest about this platter is the barely-there indentations--turns out there are 8 and they are not randomly spaced; they're in 4 pairs, each flanking the would-be corners of the platter. When I look at other Willow platters online, they all appear to either have indentations that are easily noticeable or none at all. I also noticed it's in these 4 corners where the border transfer pattern starts and stops. You can see the exact line where the edges meet and don't perfectly align, in fact the floral design in those four locations are wildly different from each other (like the 10 o'clock one is only about half as wide as the 4 o'clock).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
