Re: Decorative Plate - Can you help ID?
I believe it’s a bought in blank that’s been hand painted by a decorator rather than a studio potter. Some were self employed and some worked in the factory but were allowed sets of tableware to decorate for a special occasion such as their wedding

Hi Naomi. Thank you for your input.
I hadn't considered that: I suppose there must be thousands of such examples. Does this mean the plate is 're-fired' once decorated? Excuse my ignorance on the mechanics of producing ceramics!

Almost all plates are refired after decorating, sometimes multiple times because different coloured glazes need different firing temperatures.
