Porcelain Oyster Plate ID

Hoping this might look familiar to someone.

 

I have absolutely never seen one like that! (Had I, you wouldn't have. )

 

No marks on back? What is the size? It's very very nice! I love the delicate blue color on the bright white background.

 

Anything new is always welcome in my vocabulary storage area. So.......
May I ask why you describe this as an OYSTER PLATE?
There are what appear to be indentations on the surface with which I am not at all familiar.
Is it a really ancient, or perhaps a very recent improved method of transporting my oysters to where they will be quickly devoured?
And, yes, can you add a picture of the back? And a diameter measurement? If it is on a surface which I think I recognize it would be more a platter than a plate.

 

Judging by the landscapes I would say Dutch, but let's wait for the pic's of the rear.
And ideed no oyster plate to me eighter.

 

Kristiaan, I sat here saying "Dutch" also, but couldn't magnify the scenes enough to help. Probably the color. Does the new back view make the plate/platter look skewed to you?

Kraftblue, can you manage to help us a bit here.
Please explain why you said "Oyster plate."
The design appears to be embossed. Pressed into the plate. Are the borders around the three scenes also imprints/indents? Am I correct on that?
May we PLEASE have a measurement.

 

Plate measures about 8 3/8" across. Has 6 wells and a spot in the middle for sauce...typical oyster plate.

 

I'm often wrong but I'd have said oyster plate as well, though not as OTT/obvious as many oyster plates are.

 

Lovely oyster dish! I would have tried my darnest to beat you to it, silver! I found another that I believe is identical; however, can only see a partial view of the plate. I think it was originally on eBay, but no longer there, at least I can't find it. The only description given is:

"OYSTER PLATE, Delft Blue 6 well, German"

Thank you, thank you, and my apology. My next eye doctor appointment is Jan. 14 2016. 10:45 AM. I'll ask if maybe it's time to get a pair of eyeglasses. He keeps saying I don't need them.

If you do decide to offer this for sale it might help disadvantaged old fa*ts like me to see better if you offer pictures taken at a slight angle. Capture the indentations. I could not recognize the depth.

Also thanks for the larger pic of scenery. I was able to ID the windmill and confirm the original thought we had. Yes, Netherlands mode.
After all the delays I will offer my opinion which, for your sake I hope can be proven wrong.
1. Not delft.
2. Not Majolica
3. Not made in Netherlands.
4. Not made prior to 1960.

 

I'm surprised you didn't add....

5. not an oyster plate.

.......

 

I don't care if it were made last week! I LIKE it!

Incidentally, do you suppose there is anyone in the Netherlands who dislikes blue and white? Is allowed to dislike blue and white?

 

Susan, I still love you, deeply respect you, but also used to like you.

And yes, I can be difficult.
Don't care for Pinterest.
Don't accept Delft being made anywhere except Holland.

And still cannot understand how you found that plate.

 

OK, folks, you'll all be glad I have to go.

Komo. You're also a nice guy and know when I'm kidding. But it IS an oyster plate, even though I wouldn't consider it collectible.

Silver - Is allowed to dislike blue and white? Legally allowed but socially ostracized!

 

I'm lost. All I did was post a pic of a very similar oyster dish on the *popscreen* website and *quoted* the description that said delft and German. On coming back I see these posts on not majolica, not delft, not made in the Netherlands, don't care for Pinterest, love and respect you, but also used to like you. Wellll, I'm lost. I guess I'm having a senior moment for the logical of it all escapes me.


Just because I quote what some website says, definitely doesn't mean I believe it. Anything found on the Internet is suspicious and should be followed up with research and especially auction sites like eBay. Websites like Pinterest and Popscreen are just quoting from other websites with eBay the source for most of their material.

Wel then you should know when I'm kidding too !!

Ummm.......go where ???

 

I am posting this directly under Komo's - "Ummm.......go where ???


Komo, I know when you're kidding. No problem.

Susan, let me explain. Please understand that my post with -
"1. Not delft.
2. Not Majolica
3. Not made in Netherlands.
4. Not made prior to 1960." was typed and "post reply" was clicked on before I saw yours. So I was not responding to it.

After that, my next post was expressing my jealousy on your beating me to the big find.

"Use to like you" is always meant as a joke. Hence the green smiley. And the only reason I said that was because I had spent perhaps 2 1/2 hours looking for a similar dish, including eBay current and completed - and then you found it - I'm guessing - in 82 seconds. It's my jealousy surfacing.

And that dish you found is identical, possibly the very same dish we've been looking at.

The comment on the Pinterest portion was how often someone offers incorrect info. which gets carried forward for a generation or so.
Delft Blue - similar but technically wrong - 6 - 6 what??? - well - what's well? German?? Who decided that? Or is it?

Very sorry it occurred in that order. I understand how it looks.

Yikes!!​

 

TOG.....we're good !

The Pats r hard to beat......no matter what balls they use.....
but it's early in the season....

 

>Use to like you" is always meant as a joke. Hence the green smiley.<

Honestly, I knew you were joking especially with the added smiley. It was just that I couldn't figure out the logic of your posting with the mention of "not Netherlands" when I didn't even mention Netherlands as country of origin, "not Majolica" when I didn't say that, and "Don't care for Pinterest" when the site was popscreen.

>before I saw yours. So I was not responding to it.<

This explains your replies. I was just afraid I had missed something. Like my canoe, my brain - with the few grey cells it has left, had now stopped paddling.

>The Pats r hard to beat......no matter what balls they use.....<

Ditto here, Komo..!
