Hi, I do not know the maker of the German plate, but the swing bridge connects Newcastle and Gateshead in England.  The "Made in Germany" had to be applied on all imported goods from Germany in Britain from 1887 onwards. Regards, Mat

Mart, it is definitely a UK phrase.  I would assume a "seaside tat" (two words) is what we in US would liken to a tourist item or item that has more sentimental value than monetary?!

Yes tat means cheap junk, in this case a souvenir from the sea side or coast  ;D

It's not "a" tat though, just tat. Like you wouldn't say a junk. Hth.

Common language aye?  ;D

Btw Hello Potypeanut and welcome to the board. It is very friendly here.

Does your pink plate have a lustre type finish?
