Q: Can you tell me the value of a plate about 10 inches across which has on it portraits of Lord Roberts, Colonel Baden Powell and General French.
A: This plate is a souvenir of the Boer War (1899-1902) which was fought in South Africa between the British, and Dutch settlers. Roberts, Baden Powell and French were all key military figures in the war, and various souvenir pottery was made to mark the event. This wall plaque is worth about £120 -- Boer War items are quite collectable.
