I have tried Pamela's pics. - Sowerby, some Rudolfova/Inswald and Brockwitz - but I may have missed it somewhere, of course. So grateful if one of the Carnival experts can assist please. Diameter is 8.5" - 215mm - and has a rounded type foot rim - not the pre second war style of ground rim - so am guessing more recent in date. My thanks in advance. Paul S.

sorry, one of those should of course have been the front side - as here. :-[

I'm fairly certain this is Sowerby, I don't remember the pattern name, but I'm sure Glen will know.
btw. the lack of a ground footrim doesn't always mean a later date, just depends on how the piece was finished. Ground footrims tend to be earlier as they show the piece was hand finished & not made on a fully automated line, but the opposite is not always true; for example, if a piece was held by a spring punty to fire polish it there'd be no need to grind the foot.

Steven - thanks for the explanation re styles of foot rim. Very enlightening, and must admit I was unaware of this.
Anne - appreciate your help, as always - so id would appear to be possibly Czech or English - and must admit I also had a feeling that it might have been this side of the water - but would bow to Glen's expertise - so will label as indicated. However, not sure I would agree with 'common' - from memory this is the first one I have seen, although I don't go around specifically looking for Carnival. I thought for a moment the name was being given as 'Crumpet' plate - actually I like them for tea, very tasty, crumpets ;)

Paul, there are at least 5 of these Crimpit plates on eBay UK in the Carnival section, right now. :ooh:
When I first started collecting Carnival (in the early 1980s) they were absolutely everywhere. They are still around, at car boots and so on. I wish I could pin down the maker, but I can't, despite studying more catalogues than I care to enumerate. :spls:
I feel comfortable saying "European manufacture". :P
