*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
It seems this plate has always been one for display and not the kind that would be part of a set.

Thanks, Virginia, you're all set.
One of the photos I originally sent showed the red maker's mark very clearly. The wording says "hand painted, exclusive." The blown up photo shows the picture between the wording... it is distinctive and I had hoped you could identify it. You mentioned you would amend your appraisal if I provided this information. I have a potential buyer for this plate but would like a better idea of what to charge. Thanks so much.
Thanks, Virginia,
I've updated this to include the mark. Cabinet plates still bring relatively little money at auction (compared to what antiques dealers price theirs at, sometimes with the expectation of negotiating a price) but I've raised the value of this a little.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Yes. I only have one plate.
