<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4459875, member: 7360"]Thanks for this link. I had found this pattern on Replacements, and I'm still baffled by the resemblance in name but a completely different pattern for "Essence in Blue", especially since the "Essence" pattern is blue itself! But your above link to the microwave infol is very useful; I had a look at the edge of the rim, and noticed for the first time that the rim on my plate has a vertical line of platinum invisible from above. This is another baffling feature, adding I imagine a fair bit to the cost but virtually nothing to the attractiveness of the plate, just a shiny but luxurious outer edge. Unfortunately it detracts from the usefulness, but now I know I should add it to any description if I sell the plate. It does hint at a date earlier than the widespread use of microwaves, though. The original "Essence" was discontinued in 1984, which was about the time that home microwaves were becoming very common.</p><p>Thanks very much for your imput! I think I may have to put the plate on sale without any further into on its backstamp or date, but hopefully there is someone out there who has a set of this already and would like to replace a plate. It must be rare, so hopefully desirable![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
