<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3680912, member: 7360"]Strange combination of characteristics, fascinating! The butterflies and leaves look a bit like an early Victorian Staffordshire production, perhaps a crude replacement for a broken plate from another manufacturer, by someone who isn't quite sure what they are painting. The man could be a medieval monarch, maybe, but why has he got a handkerchief on a pole? The hat does look like a pope but a pope wouldn't show his legs like that. Looks a bit eastern European to me. The blue border looks wrong, somehow. What is it??? Please report back when you learn more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
