#2. Second question! This lusterware dish is about 9" long. The mark is just partial and I'm wondering if anyone can divine what's missing?! I also cannot find a good site to launch a Czech item in. Any ideas?
Hmmm. 9" long - but not HERE. I'll try again.

Thanks, toasted! How did you do that? I think I've figured something out. If I right click on the image, on the manage images page, I get the link to the LITTLE picture. If I left click, let it come up big, THEN right click, I seem to (usually!) get the BIG picture. God, I am so slow.

I didn't look up the mark but I think this goes to a condiment set. S/P on either side and a small dish in the middle with a small spoon...

Dad! Toasted! Does the "thumbs" part show up when I right click on the little image in "manage images" instead of left clicking on it first??? 'Tis a puzzlement. I've seen this "thumbs" guy before but couldn't figure out how he got there. Some hitchhiker, I guess.

When you right click on the photo.
left click on properties.
Copy & paste the URL then erase the: (thumbs./) part!

I would list Czech pieces under Pottery/European Art [or something like that]

miscreant is correct with the mark. I just found one in my book and it has a crown logo above the lettering.
Most that I find are Made in Japan and there were some made in Germany also I believe.
Yes, this is the tray for a condiment set. It should have a salt shaker and pepper shaker plus a little mustard pot in the middle that usually has a lid and a tiny china spoon. Some are plain and others have the floral designs, etc on the pieces that the tray holds.
Roadsmith, I give you credit for each time you come here and show us the things you buy. A few times you have been told to toss them or give them away but you toss them to the world to see what they think.
You usually do really well on most of it. Good for you!

Thanks, Kiara, for those kind words. We all help each other, don't we?!
I actually toss very little away once I have it home. The game for me is to see if I can sell just about any danged thing that I allow in the door.
To me, some of these bedraggled items are like those little pound puppies the humane society cleans up, hoping to find them a good home. I clean the item, primp it, tie a ribbon around its neck, fluff up its hair with perfumed fluffer, and put it out for the world, hoping someone will adopt it. So far, it's fun. When it isn't, I'm outta here.
As an aside, I wish I knew what you were referring to in EO yesterday, talking about learning a good lesson, etc. I didn't see any threads from you in the roundtable. . . .

Roadsmith, you shouldn't ask certain questions. Same thing when you innocently start those silly little ignore threads when you sit in your corner and pretend you are oh-so-innocent.

Kiara, oh my god! 4 pages of that stuff, back and forth. I was fascinated with your story. And methinks a certain poster here (you know who I mean) is a tough one to deal with most of the time.
My experience is that EVERYONE has a story. When we lived in a medium-sized city I was staffer to a large Chamber of Commerce committee of women at the management level. There were about 350 of them, and I'd gotten to know most of them fairly well when they first joined the Chamber. (I'm pretty easy to talk to and sympathetic, too.) I would sit at that head table at the monthly luncheons, looking over the crowd of seemingly happy, well-dressed women and I would know better. I would know the struggles they'd all had, some of them with their male bosses (harassment, demeaning, and worse sometimes), some of them abused as children, some of them trying to get that college education AT NIGHT, and their struggle as single parents to raise children and work full time too, and their money problems--all of that, as they put on a pretty face for the world.
It was an important lesson for me. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise--unless he has a gun in his hand. I know this sounds sappy, but the Golden Rule still applies, doesn't it?
Good for you, helping those kids. HIllary Clinton was right, it does take a whole village to raise a child (originally a proverb of an African tribe). If we all took the time to even make eye contact with children we encounter on the street, or smile, or be kind, if we know them, the children would do better in life.

I am not superstitious, and I'm not sure I believe in angels. But sometimes I honestly see people in chance encounters who seem to be there to teach me something. Standing in line at the p.o. sometimes, someone will say something to me that I just needed to hear that day. We all go into and out of each other's lives like an intricate dance, and each encounter is either positive or negative.

I just read your message. You've figured it all out.. the things I am just learning now. The signs I recognized many times when I paid attention to them and then ignored when I needed them most. Thanks again.
Edited again to say that I read your words over and over, Roadsmith. Yes, behind the smiles that show to the world, everyone has their own story to tell. Many of them are much much worse than what we are ever going to have to face in our whole lifetime.
Same thing when you innocently start those silly little ignore threads when you sit in your corner and pretend you are oh-so-innocent.
