    A pretty plate from Hoya, with cherubs made in their intaglio style.

    This is the only plate I have seen from them though that has also been painted with enamel as part of the design.
    They possibly did this a bit and I just am not aware of it but for me the combination is unusual.

    I like this plate but I'm not so sure the cherubs are their best ever creation.
    From certain angles they look a bit.....well, if not feral,.... ugly.

    Diameter: 22cm

      They look like middle aged men! Is that good enough? I don't think so!!!
    3. sklo42 sklo42, 9 years ago
      Lol.....perhaps, being cherubs, only their faces age over time:-).....you just shouldn't have pointed it out, Peggy

      Just bored of being petulant Peggy and wanted to be precious instead!

      Karen they are Beatiful What is Hoya?
    14. racer4four racer4four, 9 years ago
      Thanks for the love Kivantitz.
      Hoya Crystal was a Japanese cut crystal company that stopped production in 2009.
      The company Hoya still exists but they now concentrate on their vision and technical lenses.
      There is a fair amount of Hoya crystal glasses and plates around but their high end works are harder to find.
