I have this plate, and some questions. First of all, what might be the value of this serving dish? Also, why do I have these brown circular marks? It seems to follow cracks (crazing?) in the glaze. Is this normal? Can it be cleaned?
A final question -- when we were moving, my husband pulled an entire box of Homer Laughlin pieces from the attic (I did not even know they existed, much less that they were rotting away in a hot and humid southern attic!). Unfortunately, they had been wrapped 20 years prior in newspaper, and the print had transferred to the pieces and stained them! I could not wipe them off quickly with my finger, so I wrapped them in fresh tissue paper, and still have this to deal with when I unpack that box. Any advice on cleaning off the newsprint?
