And perhaps an approx $$ value? I purchased these 2 platters today they're 16.5" by 12" wide. This is the mark:

| How pretty! I would love to see these hung on a dining room wall. |
|
| Is that the only mark on the back? or is there something else as well? And where did you get them, that may also provide a clue. Looks like the people are riding in a troika. Linda C |
|
| Yes, that is the only mark. Could it be Staffordshire? I purchased them at an estate auction in Oklahoma.(where I live) Thank you Sheila, I don't have a dining room, but they're hanging in my LR. :-) I just love them!

|
| I would love to have those on MY wall. The horses are just incredible. Nice find, whatever they are! |
|
| That's not Staffordshire. Can you tell, are they pottery or stone ware? Because of the troika I am thinking Russia or Hungary or Ukrane. Don't know a thing about those pottery marks... |
|
| They look like some sort of a Delft pattern from Holland, try googling delft patterns or marks and see what you come up with. |

| I have those exact same plates. Unfortunately, they are packed away and I can't get to them to confirm the maker, but I believe they are Delft. I'm not sure if there suppose to be platter. I used my as wall art. Great Fine!!!! |
|
| I did look in my 2 "marks" books & didn't find anything to match what is on your platters. The crown suggests a country that has Royalty, lion can be U.S. England & some other countries floral so hard to say where they are from. I thought they looked more like ironstone with slight "flow blue" look especially on the back. Nice pieces whatever they are. Enjoy! |
|
| They look like Faiance...not ironstone. Delft wasn't always well marked...often not with the country of origin, but I can't find any Dutch marks that look anything like that. And I have never seen any Deoft showing figures that were not Dutch...or generic flowers or boats or windmills. It could be Hungarian...Polish.. But I really don't believe it's Delft. Is the base completely glazed? |
|
| Yes, the bases are completely glazed. There was a 3rd platter that I bought too, has the same mark on the back.
After researching this platter, I've discovered it came from the Grand Union grocery store chain. It was a promotion that they had going on during the Bicentennial in 1976. |
