WOW, how did I miss THIS!? What a beautiful plate! I have never seen that peacock mark with what looks Arabic characters (at least to my untrained eye) before. I'll be anxious to see what you find out about this!
You will find it in Morocco. Almost everyone in Morocco has one of this plate. Very popular but expensive too.
The originals are expensive but the copies are very cheap.
Morocco, huh?? May I ask how you can tell the original from the copies? The mark isn't at all familiar to me and I'd like to know more about it! :-)
I have this exact blue plate that was give to me a long time ago. I also have a black one that is almost identical, But the stamp on the back has Arabic looking writing that goes completely around the China stamp. I am so curious about these pieces. Have you found out any more information????
