Help - what were those plates that Ralphie found awhile back called? Crazy senile family whack job left a few behind with a note stating they were flow blue but even I know that ain't right (thanks be to these boards).
these pieces have a definite penn dutch feel to them ( danish family history ) both in design and colors but they seem to be a combination of sponge and brush work. Also some of the detail paint on one set has a metalic gleem to it - any idea what that means in terms of dating?

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Something like "stick splatter"? That is a vague memory but someone will be along with the answer soon.

Another way you might see something similar is Gawdy Dutch or Gaudy Dutch.
Ralphie! If that was your plate, you let it go for a SONG!!! Live and learn, I guess. Next time you run across something like that contact a B&M Auction House and have them sell it when they have a collection of the stuff up for sale, huh?

items are worth what folks are willing to pay, right?
Now, Ralphie's TOTAL INVESTMENT for BOTH PLATES was $4...& he gobbled up $450.00 for da PAIR afterwards
Now, you ready to really SHOUT AT THE DOG?? Get this: he almost LISTED THEM AS "2 for $10"
Fortunately, I convinced him to post pics here & we got WONDERFUL GENEROUS advice here.
WE both are happy!

Oh darn...I missed being the first person to answer this question this time around. I must pat myself on the back (pat pat pat) for answering tomwiii last time and assisting him in fetching that $450.00. I tried to get him to split it with me...but he didn't go for it.
I was lucky enough to find a stick spatter bowl at a yardsale on Saturday. A 50c find! Yippee!!! It's a keeper.

I'm the one who said "splatter" but I did qualify with "Something like". I also admitted that I was calling on a vague memory.
Tomwiii that was some serious china that Ralphie found!
