<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 134232, member: 96"]I'll try to address some of the questions raised:</p><p><br /></p><p>The marks, both blue and green, are identical in size and are the 1/4". The plates with the green mark also have some tiny impressed numbers/letters. Looks like "0 175 VO" or "0 175 YO". Whether the Os are 0s or vice-versa, I'm not sure. They're round, not oval.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the beading and gold encrustation matches from plate to plate to platter. the platter has a double row of gold beading near the edge, while the plates all have a single row. The difference pointed out by cluttered closet is just lighting. I took the photos on the dining room table with a 10 light chandelier above, so the light was kind of spotty.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a slight "pie crust" (if that's the right term--kind of like fork marks you'd make on the edge of the crust") ripple near the edge of the plates. It's slightly more pronounced on some plates, but my old camera may not be picking up this detail in the photos. I think what you're seeing--lines on some but not on others--is from the lighting. In person, there's virtually no difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>The placement of the beaded cartouches is not exact. The platter has a beaded cartouche centered on the rim above the ring neck pheasants. One green marked plate and one blue marked plate have a beaded cartouche centered on the rim above the bird, the same as the platter. The other 4, whether marked in green or blue, are not exact in cartouche placement--there's a bit of variation from plate to plate.</p><p><br /></p><p>There's less than 1/8" difference in diameter among the plates--from 8 5/8" to just under 8 3/4" (my measurement may not be exact).
