Topic: Monart? Gray-Stan? Stevens&williams? Nazeing?

If the central pontil scar is as described by Roberta it is Monart, that purple was used in both periods of Monart. A clearer picture of the pontil scar would help all the same.

The shape is too sophisticated to be anything but Monart, in my opinion. (not with all the other Monarty clues) That's not really an easy shape to make, not with almost right angles in it.
The colours are brighter and more Monart-y than Nazeing-y
My guts are positive it's Monart now.

It is throwing me a bit as i can see some small scuffs in the pontil scar so im not really sure but here is the best picture in the light conditions available, I guess it could also be a very good copy??

If someone was going to go to all that trouble to copy a Monart they wouldn't copy a plate!
A very beautiful plate though! I love bubbles like that 

The more pieces of Monart I collect the more variances I find in the bases, pontil scars etc, bowls are different to vases, vases can be different to vases, aplied feet of the same type different again; it's not quite as cut and dried as it appears on Ysartglass site (many thanks to Frank); I believe there are more shown in the book (of which I still have to get a copy and yes I have seen them on ebay).
