Re: Edge, Malkin & co. platter.
Matthew, thank you for your post. You have an interesting piece, as Edge, Malkin & Co. dates 1870-1903, yet this pattern is decidedly earlier, unless the maker copied or used another potter's copper plate. I looked at all 71 EM & Co. patterns in our very extensive database (over 17,000 patterns thus far), and I don't see this one. It is, BTW, a Romantic period pattern with a Swiss ? Italian? Other? subject, and it would most likely be a generic view (not of a specific scene or location). Please add a photo of the mark on the reverse to your post, and I am also going to pass this on to our Database general editor, who will likely have additional comments and may actually locate the pattern and/or border.
