    Are the "different" designs all flowers? I remember my grandmother and her friends had wall or cabinet displays of small plates, each a different design but similar enough in colors and style to form an attractive "set."

    I doubt very much that they would be "seconds" (which I don't think ever existed as a category to be sold until post WW2 20th century.)

    The numbers seems to be in European style and to have been applied by the decorator company.

    I suspect early 20th C German cabinet plates.
