this armorial plate, is it Delft? and who's coat of arms is this?

It appears to say Nuremberg? But not the coat of arms of Nuremberg, Germany. Something to do with Bavaria.

It says right on the back that it's the COA of Nuremburgh - a city in Germany, not the Netherlands. So no, it's not Delft because it wasn't made in Delft.

(Just realized the person who wrote that note used a question mark. so that was a guess.)

 

I should add that Nuremberg is in Bavaria so may well have been bought there. This is the city's coat of arms.

The plate looks very French to me, don't know the arms.

 

Nuremberg is in the state of Bavaria in Germany, and it appears to be a likeness of the coat of arms of Bavaria

French Faience 19th Century Rouen

 

Certainly French in the Desvres style. Could be Rouen. Worth checking Desvres marks. I've got the book on Desvres with all the marks but I am out just now. Can check later for you.

 

What is the relationship between Desvres and quimper?

 

Here are pages from the Desvres book. I think Fourmaintraux more likely than Rouen

 

I think you absolutely right, it has to be Fourmaintraux. I think i might in future just say Normandy Well Done John, the ink looks slightly lighter rouge, in the late 19th century backmark exmples.
