<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 178429, member: 106&quot;]Have you looked VERY carefully around the edge of the ground base of both plates, in bright light, with a magnifier, holding the plates at various angles?&nbsp; Just because it looks awfully similar to this one here ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cardersteubenclub.org/shapes/item-view.cfm?RecordID=30398&amp;image=1&amp;back=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cardersteubenclub.org/shapes/item-view.cfm?RecordID=30398&amp;image=1&amp;back=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.cardersteubenclub.org/shapes/item-view.cfm?RecordID=30398&amp;image=1&amp;back=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>your engraving looks gray cut and the one on the site looks like the cuts are polished, but might look like that due to the different backgrounds and lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking around at that site I posted above, and found several other examples of this pattern on other color plates and they all looked gray cut - so it must have been the way the light was hitting the blue one that made it look polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope your plates do turn out to have the Steuben mark on them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
