<p>[QUOTE="Ihaveolditems, post: 260149, member: 5203"]Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I do know factually that my grandfather bought it the year before the Shah was overthrown, it is very large, and the story The seller had was that it was made in the Desert. Who knows maybe it was made by a Jewish raised artist influenced by the native language who spoke multiple languages. Or perhaps he made it for sale and the one he kept has different writing on it? My grandpa never said they're identical but did say it was purportedly 1of2. Any idea what a Jewish art collector would pay? We need insurance values for these. I suspect the price it's cost to track down the remaining plate,fly to the country it's in and purchase it should be a reasonable number <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> and Also regarding the Chinese seeming bowl with the script/imperial seal on it, could anyone translate it or maybe identify which dynasty/seal it is? I have a feeling it is 1600s to 1820s but have no proof/evidence of anything one way or the other. Just the deal would be the proof in the pudding. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
