Saudi plates? Help with identification

Postby saudiplate » Sun Nov 09, 2008 6:15 pm

I have two plates that are 6" across and look identical on the front, but the back markings look a little different. I will try to post both marks and 1/4 of the front of plate. I was told they may be from Saudi Arabia. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

This piece unfortunately cannot be Saudi. The production centers for silver in the Arabian penninsula were in the Yemen and Oman. This, most fortunately for you is a fine Isfahani, Iranian piece, stamped .84 , Ifahan. The name of the maker "Baradara" appears in the last picture.

Regards
