[QUOTE="Repostmodernism, post: 9710926, member: 84704"]Hello everyone, I'm looking to get some and any info about the blank that was used for this plate (antique Russian military-themed gift plate). Backstory: this plate depicts Russian Empire soldiers of a specific unit, and is dedicated to 2 officers on the back of the plate. We can see the Limoge France AD (?) stamp on the back, which is very questionable, as we don't have any info in Russia on why would it be a French blank, and there is no info about French blanks being used at the alleged time of the inscription (1902). Russian Empire had a plenty of local porcelain manifacturers. Questions that come in mind are: [LIST] [*]Does anyone have any info on the "AD" stamp? [*]What would be the timeframe for the stamp? [*]Does anyone have any info about a French manifacture doing such military plates? [*]Is it possible that the plate was made in France upon an order from Russia? [/LIST] Any help, thoughts or directions for research would be greatly appreciated! (I can see a plate that was sold on Ebay with the same "AD" stamp, but that's all I could find) [CENTER][ATTACH=full]471416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471419[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
