Hi all -
Thanks to a contributor earlier this week these have been identified these as "Wood and Bower" staffordshire.
Would love to know how to sell these and potential selling price to achieve fast sale without giving them away....
-------------------------
I inherited two plates, one raised on a smallish pedestal, in excellent condition. See attached pictures.
I would like to know more about them so that I can more accurately research a price at which to sell them.
I think it's Staffordshire, and that the diamond-stamp on the back indicates manufacture sometime after 1848.
The mark that accompanies the stamp is a very distinctive wreath, trimmed with a ribbon-like bow, within which are the letters "W & B" and the word "MALTA". The design on the front and sides is blue flowers, leaves, and garland; a circled star in the middle, with worn gold gilt around the edge.
thanks in advance for you help.
Marge
