<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Misha Petrovic, post: 3635215, member: 18621&quot;]The only reason to group these together is that they were found together at an estate/auction sale. I did some research on them, but would like to know more... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>(1) Darley and Butler commemorative plate (late 19th century?)</p><p>Darley and Butler were pioneers of organizing tea production in Ceylon/Sri Lanka in the 19th century. This looks like a commemorative or promotional plate... but cannot find anything else about it. The auction house listed it is as &quot;from 1840s&quot; but this is way too early, since they just started business in 1848</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8252]Darley and Butler 01 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:36 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8251]Darley and Butler 02 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:36 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>(2) TI &amp; J Emberton plate</p><p>&gt;&gt;&gt;</p><p>1869-1882, Earthenware manufacturers at the Highgate Pottery, Brownhills, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. They produced the usual kind of ware and also specialised in pottery for the Indian and Far Eastern markets. So was this produced in England then exported to China or Japan? And what is the motif? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8253]Emberton 02 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:36 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8254]Emberton 01 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:36 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>(3) Macao D&amp;S pitcher</p><p>this was listed as late 19th century also... but my research shows that Macao/Macau comes up as pottery producer (ok, rather trans-shipper) only in the 1960s/70s. Then again, those mid-20th century pieces all have specific Chinese-style marks, this mark on the bottom looks very European-style... is it possible that it was made much earlier?</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8255]Macao D&amp;S 01 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:37 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8256]Macao D&amp;S 02 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:37 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8257]Macao D&amp;S 03 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:37 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 8258]Macao D&amp;S 04 by Misha Petrovic posted Feb 8, 2021 at 6:37 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
