I put this amber coloured one on here some months back.    From memory I believe Ivo suggested it was a platter for bread.    Black Gothic script can be the devil to read  -  how the Germans ever got on with it I can't think.

Thanks guys, I think it's that type of script that you can read from afar instead of just under your nose.

I am going to book John and I into a retirement home I think, might be safer for us both if we are away from the general public

anyway back to this dish, had a quick look and I have only found one on the net with someone saying it could be American

as is often the case, some attributions are found whilst looking for other things.        In Pamela's glaspavillon site, there is an entry for Wilhelm Schiedt (German, although I don't know if they were a manufacturer or not), showing this exact design in both blue and clear.      Since this entry is provided in the Attributed section, then must assume Pamela was happy with the source for this platter - although in my ignorance I'm unsure as to why the wording should be in English - unless, of course, this company were providing goods to an English retailer.       Along side these two there is a similar shaped plate (in blue) albeit a slightly different design and with a German text, and together with the two colours of 'Waste Not Want Not' constitue the complete entry for this company, on the glaspavillon....   http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/
This would appear to resolve the issue for these plates..............anyone like to comment?

Very busy at present, therefore just a short notice regarding trader Schiedt:

According to this, Mrs. Spillman is 'inclined to feel that these are English'
