<p>[QUOTE=&quot;misun, post: 365316, member: 7630&quot;]I found this plate at the goodwill, the last item left on a cart that had just been rolled out. It had that old smell of lingering tobacco and perhaps incense or perfume.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the artist of this plate, it must have been no small effort to paint so many dazzling insects. There seems to be no up or down, as to what position it should be displayed, suggesting no formal training on the artist&#039;s part. Just my speculation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder about the plates construction. Is it porcelain? A small chip in the center suggests so, though there seems to be terracotta on the exterior. It rings like a bell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
