    I purchased these recently and I love them I kept them in a cool outbuilding and, when I bought them indoors they began to develop cracks. They have the no 3281 on the reverse and two tiny swords. An help in identifying them greatly appreciated. Even with the cracks they’re beautiful.

      Thank you to dav2no1 & blunderbuss2 for loving these. I’m looking forward to learning more about these plates from the folks on this site.

      Hi, Elainep. :-)

      Beautiful. <3

      A pictorial search of Replacements dot com and a wider search of the Internet using Google Lens didn't turn up any twins. :-(

      From the description of the backstamp, it sound like it might be Meissen, but there are subtle variations in the crossed swords that can help determine age:

      You're allowed up to four pictures per post, so perhaps you could edit your post, and add a clear picture of the backstamp.

      Hi kermikos
      Thanks so much for looking and taking time to comment. I have uploaded the only marks that I have found on any of the plates or cups and saucers.
      What a twit I am! Is didn’t think to upload the marks myself!
      Thanks for your time and comments.
      I look forward to hearing anything g further.

      Elainep, Thanks for uploading a picture of the backstamp. :-)

      I don't know that I would have recognized that small crossed mark as crossed swords.

      They don't appear to me to resemble any of Meissen backstamps at the links I previously sent you, but then I'm not an expert.

      keramikos I see what you mean in relation to the marks. . I haven’t yet reached novice status so I am very grateful for your time and comment ! When I got the plates out of the garage to bring them into the cottage, as I said above, a number of them developed hairlines and then broke. I’ve thrown these away and I think one f them must have had a clearer mark on the reverse.
      If you have any idea what the indistinct mark may be or whether the numerals are, indeed, a a pattern number, I’d be most grateful for your comments.
      Thanks again
      Elaine

      I’ve accidentally loved my own post! How do I undo it ?
      Thank you

      Elainep, No worries, I myself don't even have novice status; I'm just an old Internet surfer. :-)

      Sorry, no real ideas on the back stamp. :-(

      I wouldn't worry about having inadvertently 'liked' your own post; a lot of regulars like their own posts deliberately. };-)

      If it really bothers you, you could ask the CW staff:

      Hi keramicos
      Thanks for your help. I don’t really mind if I don’t ever find any more info on the plates etc. I love them. It’s just that I’ve always been fascinated by the ‘whys and wherefores of life so, why were they made and how and when were they used?
      I tried using Google lens but I much preferred their previous reverse image search . It seems lately I struggle to identify most things where it used to be that I identified most things and struggled with a few - hey ho!
