Hi Michael - well done on your first post and I am hoping this will be the first of many.

In 2007 these plates sold in the $400's - that was at the height of the Wembley ware sales.

Do they have the hand painted stamp on the back?

If it is just the Wembley ware stamp then who is to say that someone hasn't just bought the plates

and done the heads at a china painting class.

This is the discussion that has been going around for the past decade and no one has come up

with the answer yet!!

A lot of ww pieces were given to the souvenier shops and ladies sat in the shop painting scenes

and W.A. flowers and fauna then they were fired and returned back to that shop for sale to the

tourists.  Maybe they are pieces from that time.

This is the question - if a piece of Wembley ware is hand painted - is it more valuable if painted in

the factory - and if painted in the factory why doesn't it have the hand painted stamp so if there is no

hand painted stamp on the rear of the article does that mean it hasn't been painted in the factory?

Something to ponder Michael and love to hear what you think on this.

As for the price we only have the one that sold in 2007 and that was at the height of the sales.

Maybe that for the pair...............

I will ask around and see what the others think.

Hope this helps.
