I need to know what this plate is. I bought it at an antique auction. I believe it to be Fenton horse head medallion, but I cannot find the color anywhere. Does anyone know what it is for sure or the date? It has no signature of any kind.(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9488/plategs7.th.jpg) (http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=plategs7.jpg)

Yes, it is a Fenton Horse Medallion plate made around 1915. It is custard glass with a reddish brown decoration called nutmeg by some, but early Fenton catalogs called this "Peach Blo" (notice spelling). To my knowledge it has not been reproduced.
I had a plate like this once and I sold it, which I regret. If you put yours up for sale, please let me know.
