Topic: San Marino " Amalfi " Plate - Decorative

[antiquerose123]

Hi, I have this plate i bought at a thrift store.  Not sure where to post, but I (think) Amalfi is some Italian place (?)  Not sure.

Always, It was marked $5.99, but I got for $3.99.  There is a original sticker on it that says (looks like) $ 5000.  I DO NOT THINK THAT IT WAS $5000, but I just do NOT see any DOT.  Then again, maybe it is like (I dunno know) $5000 in Euro's (or something). I just can't see a dot in the number -- maybe it is just faded ??  So do not know if it mean like $50.00 (US Dollars), or something like $5000 Euro dollars....do not know 

The edges are really rough....just like the pic shows.....not rough as in unfinished....but rough as in the texture of it....I only posted it because this rough texture reminds me of how some of the finishes on your German Fat Lava posts look it.....the roughness... ...but what do I know...

Anyways here it is.  Please advise me any information on it at all....

Pip....Did I do good in Value wise both in purchase, and present value ?  What are these worth, as a collectible?  

Me, and my thrift store purchases.... El Cheapo...lol....as long as I can find *good* things.. 

I just decided to take a pix of this at the last minute...glad I did...

AR - yeah you did fine.  They're not particularly high-value items and generally speaking the items decorated with the 60s iconic looking girls tend to fetch the best prices but if you paid pennies for it then you can't lose can you.

    Worth more than I paid    I hope..

What do you call these when trying to look up (google)....what exactly are they called?

I've been to Amalfi!

I had a holiday there, staying in one of the flats directly above the tunnel where the road goes through the cliff.

San Merino is nearby, so is the Isle of Capri, and Pompeii.

I think, Rose, that the 5000 probably refers to the currency lira, which back in the 60's was about 1500-1800 to the ?.

Pretty thing, though I do have a slight preference for Bitossi!

so this is from the 60's, and this would work out to in regular (?) money to.....god, I hate this math 

Also, is the rough texture Lava, is that why they are referred to as such in pottery things....or is it cuz it looks like lava........this is all new to me..

And are these signed anywhere....i will have to take another look, but are they.....I only posted it cuz it looked like the lava stuff you guys have....so I really do not know a thing....more help if you can on tis plate..
