The correct name for the area is SarrGuemines - Originally a Roman realm then French. it is currently a location in France that was of German occupation (1871 - 1918 as a result of the Franco-Prussian War and Treaty of Frankfurt) and returned to France after WWI.  During German occupation it was noted for plush velvets, earthenware, paper mache', porcelain and leather.

About your mark....can you please post a picture - we always need to see a picture of it!

I think these plates are designed for serving fish. I recall seeing one somewhere before. Can someone tell me if I'm correct about that?

Will you please post dimensions of the plate/platter? Thanks!  They made several sizes.

This one like yours with same markings?

Thank you got lot of info from you it looks the same as the mark you put on appart from there is a 56 stamp on mine ,makes sence that it could have been meant for fish as my great grandmother came from fishing community in Norway the dimentions are Length 32 cm with 15cm depth 3cm. Well the one I saw on ebay that you gave me a link to went for 3 pounds so not populare then never mine it has lots of sentemental value to me and I like it so that is worth a lot .
