Peter;

Here are the requested close up photos of the first plate that had the beetle mark on the bottom. Also I failed to mention that there are 3 blue bats on the outside of the plate. Hopefully this helps. Let me know. Thanks is advance for your expertise.

Old Blue and White plate with painters Mark

I need help identifying the mark on the back of this plate. It appears to be a beetle of some kind. There are no other markings that I can see. I'm not sure if this is a painters mark or manufacturers mark. If you know how old this piece is that would also help. Thank you!
