    Hello everyone! I was looking for a little help with this. It's a really heavy plate weighing 1.2kg! I have trawled many makers mark sites and i'm no further forward in identifying the maker. Any ideas on date would be lovely too. :)
    Thank you for looking and any help. Susan.

    I can't help with a maker, but I just wanted to say that it is a very pretty plate. I love the colors in the plate's decoration. ;)

    Oh thank you! It's normally sat with a stack of peaches in it and it looks rather glorious :shame:

    Lovely! Do those 2 holes in the foot ring (visible in upper right photo) go all the way through?

    Yes they do. I take it that would be to hang it on the wall?

    You would be correct. :)

    Most of the plates I have personally seen (or owned) with those holes were from Italy. Doesn't mean no other country did that, just what little I have observed.

    Hi
    I was wondering if you managed to find any info on your plate as I have a vase with the same makers mark and can't find anything out about it
    Many thanks
    Regards
    Pete

    @Pete1966 you are responding to a thread over 3 years old and GlasgowGirl hasn't been back since then. Perhaps you can start your own thread with good pictures.

    Hi,
    I realised that she hasn't been on, but it was just a long shot. I have tried to upload some pictures but the file size is too large and I'm not sure how to reduce it.
