Possible Mdina plate? ID = Confirmed Mdina
« on: February 07, 2016, 01:57:50 PM »
I have this plate/charger, it has similar colours to mdina but I can't find a signature which is unusual as the base is quite large. I also can't find any similar in shape!
Any help would be ideal :)

It's a Mdina charger in Ming, from around the early-mid '70s.
Early pieces are very often not marked, and chargers are quite scarce.
Very nice find! :)

Thanks chopin, the colours are the same so figured as much but have never seen a charger in any colour by Mdina. Any ideas on a rarity out of ten?

There are definitely several more than 10. :)
But I don't think they make any multiple of 100s.

Thank-you for your private message.
I would think it's something that should be able to make its own price on that well-known auction site.

I am not a valuer, sorry.  :)

Can we see photos of the base and also from low enough to see the profile clearly?

The diameter would be useful too, it all helps to provide a useful record for reference. Thanks.

It looks to me, from the pics, as if it is the right shape for an early one.
Sort of a cardinal's hat shape, small central bowl with a large flat wide rim.

Later fruit bowls were just an ordinary curved shape and smaller.

Yes but would be useful to have it documented here for anyone to reference in future.

Absolutely.
It was only because I knew what I should looking for, that I could tell what it was. :)

Its around 10" in diameter and stands 2" tall. There are some additional images that may help for future reference!
