    I haven't a clue where to begin searching for these marks. This oval wall plate has a very detailed painting on it. Of course no signatures.. but wow the details even down to the teeth on the lady. Any ideas where to begin researching this? thanks!! paintedplate.jpg paintedplate1.jpg paintedplate2.jpg paintedplate3.jpg paintedplate4.jpg

    Well, the costumes are German/Austrian if that's any help.

    Wildrose, thank you for the measurements. That (to me at least) is a fairly large (heavy???) painting. I'm thinking at that size (and weight?) it might not be a "souvenir painting." I can't wait to see what others say.;)

    The costumes are Tyrolean/Swiss/Austrian which also lines up with that kind of impressed mark. Mountain looks like the MAtterhorn. However, the painting is a tad amateur, which to me speaks of hobbyist or souvenir. HT rings a bell, let me think. The label isn't european.

    I'm wondering if instead of HT it's upside down and it might be 1H. The other looks like if it's turned right side up it might be 1P.
