<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ihaveolditems, post: 320529, member: 5203&quot;]I have at least 15 persian(Iranian) plates, at least 3 depict birds or deer-like animals, so it ia inaccurate to say they don&#039;t put animals on their works. Furthermore the plate doesn&#039;t look older than 1980&#039;s.our plates, copper/tin, were acquired before the Shah was ousted so ours are all pre-1970s, some from early 1900s. My grandfather &amp;my family lived there for a few years. The craftsmanship is a little lower end, maybe a tourist trade item. Many of the valuable Persian plates were hand made &amp; one or two of a kinds (craftsman would keep one)The lines on the back are a telltale sign of lower quality in my limited experience. Still looks nice and probably looks better in person. And I don&#039;t speak Farsi or Arabic so im of no help to you. Although many Rug shops are run by or are staffed by Iranians/people who speak Farsi. Worth a shot![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
