I'm a new member and I'm loving browsing the database. My question is, I have two patterns in my collection that aren't in the database. I have tried all the different search terms I could think of. Can these be added? Who should I contact about this? Also I have less interesting additions, such as a new design for a retailer, and new pattern for a manufacturer. Is there a need to capture any additions, however small? Thank you, Richard

Richard, thank you for your post, and I am most pleased that you are enjoying the Database! I hope you take advantage of the numerous additional resources we have on our website. The first plate would be in the Children's Subjects category. On a quick search, I don't find it in the Database. The second appears to be part of a series in the Aesthetic category, we have four documented but not this one. So I am going to send a note to the two associated category editors, so they can download your images and add them to the Database. Could you provide the diameter of both plates, and let us know if there are any marks on the child's plate? Also, we certainly would be interested in the other patterns you mention (new design for a retailer, and new pattern for a manufacturer)! Please post them, preferably as a new message. Again, thanks!
Thank you, that is really helpful. I will post better images of the otter plate, as it was (and still is) in my garage. Sadly the children's plate is unmarked, but I can send a photo of the back if it helps. The child's plate is 19 cm in diameter. I will post other additions here as I find them. Richard
