<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 9754924, member: 22292&quot;]Just an update - it appears that this plate is a hybrid in materials so called &#039;masso bastardo&#039; which is a greyish-toned hard paste porcelain made in the mid-late 18th century in Doccia, Italy. The tin glaze was used to hide the greyish tone of the porcelain but majes the plate opaque.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one very similar in the V&amp;A - <a href="https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O278557/plate-doccia-porcelain-factory/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O278557/plate-doccia-porcelain-factory/" rel="nofollow">https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O278557/plate-doccia-porcelain-factory/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would not have found this without your thoughts on the European origins and recognition of tin glazed finish so thank you all for your help! Quite an exciting little find for me, I&#039;ve never had a piece like this before and it&#039;s nice to see something new once in a while ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
