<p>[QUOTE="Michael Muenchausen, post: 1736149, member: 14317"]Hello, I have this Masonic plate and I have found markings on the bottom. From what I can see, it appears to be early bow porcelain but I'm not 100% sure. There appears to be a bust very small that closely resembles George Washington and another bust that is hard to identify. There is what seems to be script initials incised into the porcelain but very small. Also, the number 1 appears on the rim of the bottom. Please, any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, from my understanding, the symbol on the plate did not come into appearance until 1855, although the capital A marking relates to very early bow porcelain. I believe this plate may have been repurposed for Masonic purpose and enameled later,maybe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
