[QUOTE="vitry-le-francois, post: 4621663, member: 100"]Found this plate at the bottom of a box lot of unwanted porcelain items at a local auction. It was a daunting task, but I had to bid all the up to $3 to get it. I know, I know... rough life ;) Anyway, the back is embossed "MINTONS" with another mark I can't read. The front features a crown with the initials "VR" or "RV" in the center. Ya think this could have been used at some stately castle by a king/queen and their court?
