The item has quite a bit of information on the back. It mentions that it is bone China, it has the creators or the artist's name engraved as a signature on the back, it is limited edition. The title of the plate itself I believe it to be, is 'Profile of Freedom'. Every bit of information can be found in the photos that I have posted with this submission.

Item found in desease estate. Has green stamp (johnsons of australia) with a signature that i can not identify A.Bartha . i believe it is a xmas collection as there is a xmas tree on top of the signature as well as the date 1971. the plate is white in colour

I found this: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4933843

It says it sold for $5000 on that link but am curious as to what someone else would think on here.

It bears his stamped signature G.Gardet and each statue has a stamp of 3 numbers and a letter. I am guessing some kind of serial?

I am guessing the wood is not worth anything but the actual bronze is.

any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.
