Diamond dust mixed with plaster is not required, but is a nice touch. Me too! Some of my favorite artists are from that period. Caravaggio, Velazquez, Vermeer, etc. High technical standards and dramatic light effects. What's not to like? I rather like several of the ugly plates posted here too, although gilding would be a bit much. Or would it? www.marklarsongunart.com www.marklarsonart.com

Their work closely resembles that which was done on many articles, especially die making for pressing powder flasks. High art wrought with a lifetimes work with a chisel and files. Here's a sample of the same type of work in a powder flask: When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)

The Smith boys were bothers. Perhaps they shared some butts. I have never seen this plate on any other Ithacas. Was it widely used on high grade Smiths? Last edited by Walter C.

The maker is unknown. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
