Help on identification please

This is known to be at least 100 years old. Any information will be great thanks.

 

Hi,
I am a little confused. You have a photo of soft cooked eggs?
greg

 

It's my grandads plate, and the other photo is the back of the plate

 

I believe that is an au gratin dish.
Doubt seriously the 100 year old notion.

Says Made in France. After 1921.
Personally, I think long after 1921.

 

My grandad is 80 and his grandma gave it his mum when she was born so it's 100% over 80 years but he said he had it for at least 20 too , any idea on its value?

 

Sometimes the stories get transferred to the wrong items.
Age does not equate to value.

Again, I doubt this is 100 yrs old.

 

Who is the company or person who made the plate ?

 

Might be a Georges Dreyfus mark.

Good catch, SIS. There's a one egg dish for sale on ebay France, if you want to watch it. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/ORIGINAL-PLA...51?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_71&hash=item1ea1911f27

 

So the eggs are actually part of the dish and not food?

 

Hi,
I am not longer confused I am now totally baffled.

I wondered 'bout that when I looked at the photo... kind of thought it looked like it wasn't real eggs, but figured WDIK.

Very good trompe l'oeil!

 

Come on folks.......the bacon looks painted on .....and not that well either !!

 

jeeze - you see bacon?? I really am loosing it..................looked like browned butter to me!

 

maybe.....maybe not !

 

I agree with you Mansons. Looks like a pool of butter that got all browned in the oven.

 

Maybe I'm too used to seeing bacon with eggs !!!

 

Thank you, the eggs are part of the plate

 

French is like Greek to me.

 

Well shut my mouth.
I thought you had poached a couple of eggs and burned the butter.

But is does say "Made in" which puts the date after 1921. And if the company shut the doors in 1933, that gives you a time frame.
