<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 108173, member: 44&quot;]Scout, your mention of Imari was the key to me spotting the following Imari plates by Spode/Copeland. Imari hadn&#039;t enter my mind because I expect Imari palette (selection of colors) to be polychrome with orange, dark blue, etc. On the following plates in the link, do note the contraption in the middle is very similar to the contraption on this plate with a similar stack or tall bamboo curling out the top. They are calling that contraption zig zag fencing. The border isn&#039;t that much different either. It even has that weird 4 frond plant of some kind in front. It has a thick flock of something flying overhead. Their description:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A pair of Spode Imari plates, decorated with zig zag fence and foliage, 20cm diam, pattern no.967&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.bamfords-auctions.co.uk/buying/auctions/fine-art-and-antiques-sale-july-08-2015/lot-33-A-pair-of-Spode-Imari-plates/#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bamfords-auctions.co.uk/buying/auctions/fine-art-and-antiques-sale-july-08-2015/lot-33-A-pair-of-Spode-Imari-plates/#" rel="nofollow">http://www.bamfords-auctions.co.uk/buying/auctions/fine-art-and-antiques-sale-july-08-2015/lot-33-A-pair-of-Spode-Imari-plates/#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Peggy&#039;s plate almost looks like the 1st stage of an Imari design. Like the designer/artist forgot to add the orange, etc... other colors and elements. Then again there is Blue and White Imari also. Here&#039;s another Copeland/Spode Imari dish with what looks like the an identical contraption. Also has the 4 frond whatever. The dish has the usual Imari colors of colbalt blue, orange/red, gold, etc. The border is different. The seller is dating it c1840-c1900.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/301842273599?rmvSB=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/301842273599?rmvSB=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/301842273599?rmvSB=true</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
