Topic: id request for large plate/charger

[Paul S.]

I have looked thru Pamela's site, but wasn't aware of seeing this one, and don't think it is Bagley or Davidson.  Possibly Sowerby??   Quite large at 354mm dia., and has that rather typical pinkish colour of 30's/40's pieces, with a raised flat foot rim and a reasonable amount of marks/wear on the top side.   No proper marks unfortunately.    Apologies for the desk clutter, and if I do have this in the wrong place grateful if the mods. will move.    Wud be interestred if anyone does recognise the design, and thanks for looking.

Johnphilip:  

I think you mean Aina Aalto, Alvar's wife, who designed a set something like this pre WW II that's still in production today. Worth checking out, Paul.

"Sleuth" - another new word for me! 
Just wanted to say her name is actually  "Aino" Aalto.   

(and the series she designed 1932 was then named Bölgeblick, nowadays only called by her name Aino Aalto, I don't know if there was a large plate like that. But there's a picture of what it could be:  http://www.alvaraalto.fi/info/press/04studioainoaalto2.htm )
