Have a 9" hand painted plate and a just over 7" x .5" high hand painted trivet (I think?). No markings I can find. Mom handed them down to me, but no idea about them.
In the picture of the backs, the plate is on the left..has a string through raised edge for hanging. The trivet? has 4 furniture scratch protector tabs my mom stuck on it.
The first plate is probably an Armenian Ceramic Floral Plate from Israel. I don't know if this is an original or a copy from 1 of the arbian countries or China.

Second plate was probably made at J Mrazek Pottery in Czechoslovakia.

My parents visited Israel several years ago, so my guess is is that my mom bought it there. No clue on the Czech one as no one is still alive to ask.
Thank you so much for the information and looks... Will check them out!
