Old Decorative Plate

By snikrepeitak, 16 October, 2010
Description

This plate was my great great great grandmother's. I am just wondering if anyone knows the origin or what it is worth. When my Grandma died, an estate auction man came to my Grandfather's and offered my Grandpa several hundreds of dollars for this plate many times. It is now in my possesion. I do not wish to sell it though. The plate was hand painted, but I do not know what type of medium was used to paint it. My Grandma always said the plate was very special. The plate has gold trim on it as well. I have not taken the plate off the wall, I am afraid I will break it and don't know how it is hung... so I don't know if there are any markings on the back.
