    No marks. Hand painted. I have had Nippon and Limoges platters with the same center circle on the base. The dark area in the circle is gold paint. I looked through many Limoges and Nippon platters but haven't found a similar blank It measures about 10 1/2" on the handle side and 9 1/2 without. Hoping someone might recognize it. Opinions welcome. Thank you.

    JMHO - Nippon. I'm going not so much by the blank as on the decoration. The colors are showing a limited pallet and Limoges roses are usually not quite so "harsh".

    I seem to remember it being mentioned somewhere that there are European shapes with Nippon decoration. There was some speculation that European blanks made their way to Japan to be decorated or that Japan reproduced European blanks. The issue was not resolved. I wish I could remember where that discussion was.
