Bas Relief Plaster or Ceramic Wall Plaque Romeo & Juliet - $127 - (Princeton, IL)

A lovely old antique plaque depicting Romeo and Juliet. I can decipher the inscription "Made in England" on the end, but the other engraving is illegible for me. Pictures 5 and 6 show the writing right-side-up and up-side-down, I just don't know which is which. Picture 2 shows the back of the plaque, which has nothing on it to identify it or date it, and the chip can be seen in the lower right-hand corner. The famous lovers have been in my attic for many years and would look so worthwhile and purposeful hanging on your wall, perhaps under a soft lamp light. I will package them carefully for shipping; this is a breakable treasure. Measurements: 3 x 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Monday, March 20, 2017 "the northern hemisphere is celebrating the first day of spring, an event marked by the spring - or vernal - equinox. Humans have been celebrating this day in various forms for thousands of years, but what actually is an equinox? In the most basic terms an equinox is when the length of the night and the length of the day are roughly equal. There are two equinoxes (one in March for the beginning of spring and one in September for the beginning of autumn)..." --.James Vincent. Time for Some Spring Sales.
