Antique plate by F. Primavesi & Sons possibly from mid 19th Century. It shows an oriental scenery in high detail as seen in the pic.

The back has a coat of arms and underneath it is "F. Primavesi & Sons, Swansea & London". Measures 15" x 12" and weighs about 3 lbs.

I'd like to know more about this plate such as when it was made, rarity, value, etc. Thanks.

Hallmark on bottom of plate has:

 crown on top; H&C; Selb; Bavaria; Heinrich & Co.

I wanted to paint this desk red but everyone thinks I should have it appraised before I destroy a piece of history.  Is this desk worth more than I paid?  I got it at a yard sell for $15.00
