Topic: Help with plate identification, clear glass w/wheat sheaf - possibly Lalique

[FBUAL]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for help identifying a plate we have in our collection at Camberwell College of Arts, London.

I know it was likely made between 1950-1976, could it be possibly Lalique?

Image attached, many thanks for your help,

hello Frances  -  welcome to the GMB 

Regret I don't have experience of Lalique patterns, but we do have members who collect this output and fingers crossed they might be able to help, but my reason for commenting was to say simply that I can understand the possibility of why the Lalique connection has been suggested.
It would appear that this maker produced at least two designs which are known to collectors generally as 'wheatsheaf'  -  one is a 1930s design and shows ears of barley arranged in a circular fashion (outward from the centre of a plate for example), and the other looks to be something from c. 1960 and shows ears of wheat in a vaguely criss-cross design across the centre of a plate. 
Neither are what we would correctly describe as a sheaf of wheat - but maybe something was lost in the translation.

The only two pieces of Lalique that I've owned  -  one from the 'twenties' and the other much later, did carry the Lalique name  -  assume your piece is without marks of any kind.               Is the design on your plate incised or in relief  -  and what is the diameter?

What especially makes you suggest this one was made during the period you say?

If it is a Lalique item, I would expect there to be a signature - maybe very small on the outer edge of the rim.
