    It's ~10⅛" diameter, ~11" with the handles. Faintly translucent, high fired. The AEB in circle looks stamped, and may be the mark of the painter? Is this Nouveau? European? 20th C?

    Is there a name for porcelain plates or trays with 2 (or even 3) bearing circular feet? Thanks!

    There is certainly an art nouveau sensibility to it.

    I'd guess hobby painter and that's the decorator's monogram.

    It's very nice.

    I believe this shape is a Cake Plate.

    Yep, I've seen this design so often that I wonder if it was a stencil back in the day and the hobbyist just filled in the preferred colors. When I was in my early 20s, it was popular to go to pottery stores, pick out a form (I picked a small planter with a dog face), paint it, then fire it right there in the store's kiln. Pick it up the next day when it was all cooled down. I wonder what happened to it? Maybe I eventually donated it.
