Help!!!!! Can you give me the identity of this piece?
I love the delicate look of the floral design! The holes leave me curious also!

Carol Merrill on Oct 20, 2015Probably went to a ceiling light fixture. The wires would have come down through the hole, then the light installed below this.Helpful Reply

Swan Road Designs on Oct 20, 2015Don't think it's a light fixture. More like an accessory piece of china, fruit server or such. I could tell you much more if you could get a closer, more detailed photo of the "mark" on the back side of the solid plate.Helpful Reply

A. Barnette on Oct 20, 2015Was it possibly for a planter? I don't know if that was a craze back then like it is now.Helpful Reply

Karyn Bradshaw on Oct 20, 2015Maybe Derby marks, Roman numeral X would stand for year (1947) and the 913 maybe the number of that item that was made. Possibly made in England with these markings. I think Royal Crown Derby. Try this link http://antique-marks.com/derby-marks.html. Good Luck!Helpful Reply

Lori Johansen on Oct 21, 2015The plate's MZ Austria mark was used by Moritz Zdekauer on porcelains made at their Altrohlau, Austria, works from 1884-1909. Since 1909, the company has changed hands but kept the MZ trademark because it was so well recognized. The company is still in operation and goes under the name Starorolsky Porcelan Moritz Zdekauer.Helpful Reply

Bobbie Fisher on Oct 21, 2015Try this web site www.kovels.com; MZ Austria appears in the markings and they have several pages of items with that marking.Helpful Reply

Jackie Gfeller on Oct 22, 2015Without knowing the size, I would guess it might be a hair receiver from a dresser set. That was the first thought that came to mind.Helpful Reply

Swan Road Designs on Sep 11, 2016Since there appear to be holes in several areas of the bottom, I would guesstimate that it could have been used to keep foods on ice. The holes in the bottom would allow the water to drain away. However, the bottom plate is quite shallow so not much ice could be used. If not for that, I think it's for another food purpose. It's not a hair receiver because there would be a lid on it with a hole about the size of a nickel or quarter in the lid to "receive" the hair from a lady's hairbrush.Helpful Reply
