Antique majolica-like cabbage leaf Style Black Plate I inherited from my late brother. He bought the black plate at an estate auction in 1998. The auction was in Mountain Brook Alabama. This pattern appears to be a Majolica Cabbage Leaf. However, this pattern was done by Sarreguemines only with green and white plates. The black deco plate is 8 1/4" inches in diameter. Its weighs 20 ounces. There is a very tiny dot etched signature on the back of plate. It's so tiny that it looks like a scratch mark. Very difficult to get a good picture. I have taken pictures of the hallmark. See attached pictures. The name appears to be in french or italian. I noticed that the last name has a (d') in front of it. I am assuming that perhaps the name on plate is french. The condition of the black plate is excellent. There are no chips or cracks. The material of plate appear to be a metal base. However, I am not 100% sure on this one. I noticed where the maker dot etched his signature there appears to be a shiny base underneath the dots. I think Identifying hallmark signature will help get history on plate.
