[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 329925, member: 106"]Thanks again, SBSVC :) From that Wikipedia link I jumped down a lapin-hole and found a few nice reference sites. This one: [URL]http://faiencerieargonne.free.fr/[/URL] was quite informative. I now feel pretty certain that my plate originated in the Argonne region of France, and [U]is[/U] an antique ... which is what I was curious about. I didn't know if there were any 'fakes' or reproductions being cranked out of other countries or not ... I actually run across similar plates (usually with a rooster or different floral decoration) every so often that don't show as much age as these. There were actually two at the store, I wanted to buy one to study and learn from ... but I now want the other one, too ... it's growing on me.[/QUOTE]
