Topic: Cake plate & stand czechoslovakia

[caterer]

Hi
I have another mind boggler for you,
Cake plate and stand, the stand is epns, that bit is easy but where the cake stand screws onto the plate it has covered up some of the makers mark, what i can read is made in czecho slovokic (this is how it is spelt on the plate) with J.W.T in a wiggly oval shape
the  picture is of horned cattle in a field
any comments will be appreciated, afraid the mark is not too clear bit difficult to photograph

It's not at all easy to make out the shape of the mark really. Can you try again using the macro mode of your camera please? (This is usually shown by a little flower indicator on the settings.) That will allow you to focus in better on the mark and we'll be able to see what it looks like. Thanks.

Hi
I have attached another photo for you to look at.

Thank you for your help

It would be interesting to see what it says under the metal piece.  Maybe *Handmade* or what....

Better picture, thanks - we all will keep looking..

Hi
I have tried to remove the stand but it is fixed tight, I know the bit that can be viewed says made in etc..... I wonder if it says hand painted as you can see it is a long word/s there as I can just see a ink mark where the word ends, and the begining letter looks to be a H.

My guess is Hand-Painted too. Be careful trying to forcibly undo the stand - it could crack the plate which would be a shame. 

I had a stuck one too which I had to soak for a while and then gently ease undone but it was done in great trepidation!

I think I will leave it alone, just my luck it is worth something and i go and crack it.
well I will go hunting for some more goodies to baffle every one with.
