Made in Spain salad luncheon plate P fouilles help with name

These plates are 7 3/4" diameter

Help with the spelling of the name of manufacturer or designer

 

It reads "P. Zorrilla." Good quality. There's quite a number of ceramic pieces out there with the same signature. Suspect manufacturer name and not that of individual artisan. Supposed to be from Manises (Valencia.)

Thanks Deb. there is not a lot of information on these plates online. a nice set of 5 salad plate. There is not a big market for them, but they are pretty. no selling history hardly.
Thanks again Debora

 

okay searching with the full name brings up more results very nice on some of them tat are very colorful

 

They're quite pretty. Likely set of 6 originally. Some sales history on google.es. Let me see what I can find you. (Couldn't find anything about P. Zorrilla although the surname has a long association with ceramics.)

Didn't bother to do size conversion but these two plates are on offer for 14 euros. So, no, not worth a fortune.

These are a bit larger. Meant to hang. Two on offer for 30 euros.

Most of the plates I found was wall plates Why would they be made in a set of 6 curious? Maybe made for the table or eating off of

 

Thanks for the links

 

Did I misunderstand? Thought you said you had five. Such an odd number; if set, thought six. I suspect just a pretty plate for display. I've never really seen anyone eat off this type of ceramic -- although one could.

I guess at the number 5 but there might have been 6
I was thinking were would a person want to hang or display 6 similar plates.
Thanks
