    I've been searching for comps (age, etc., and value) for this Longwy plate and just haven't been able to find another for sale or sold. I'm hoping the knowledgeable sleuths here can help! The plate is 10 1/4" in diameter. I'm adding a couple of links, one to a Longwy info page that shows the plate, and another that has a similar plate for sale. The 2nd site says the plate is antique, but I don't think mine is.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Is it cold paint? Would this have been an amateur effort?

    No, not cold paint. It's faience. According to the link I posted, it was part of a group of Napoleon bicentennial items produced by Longwy. But the article doesn't give any info on when these were produced, and I can't find another for sale or sold.

    If you scroll halfway down the page there is this one that's very similar. This one says Floral, others say other things. I don't know how it relates to yours.

    Well, the page says they produced items for the bicentenary of Napoleon's birth, and that would be in 1969.

    Thanks so much! I don’t know how many of these were produced, but I find it odd that I can’t find one sold example. Maybe it was a market dud
