Topic: Partridge in a Pear Tree Platter

[SantaR]

Good Morning

I picked up a 13" glass plate depicting a partridge in a pear tree.  When I google I find a couple that are similar but it isn't the Department 56 one (there is no angel and the fruit is different), nor is it the Imperial plate.  There is only one the same and the seller doesn't know the make.  I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

Many thanks!

I thought the link to one in Google would show the pattern nice and clear so that more of us can help you find the maker for you, Here is the link:

Hope it helps... I am off to look further......

Thanks Rosie! 

That's the one I found and it is MUCH clearer than my photo.  I'm lairy of posting links on here and I've still had no luck in finding it myself.  I find it a bit odd that there aren't more out there in internet-land (I would think thousands were produced), unless everyone that bought one for Christmas likes it so much they can't bear to part with it. Hmmmm.

Never give up SantaR ! (great name for a Christmas Plate collector!!)
Keep looking,  another will turn up with a label..... eventually.

It's SantaR for Santa Rosa, where I live in Northern California, rather quiet and very dull. I have two charity shops very close where I get some very interesting stuff.  I never give up hope on finding out glass makers.  It's like when you walk into a room looking for something and then forget what you came for and you find something entirely different that you had given up hope on six months ago!
