I am trying to identify a hand painted china plate?

I purchased an older plate that appears to be hand painted. The only identifying marks are the words “North” painted on the back and three straight lines which are each about 1/2 ” long that are actually grooves in the china. Can anyone identify it for me & is it worth anything?
The “North” is hand painted in the same color as the flowers on the front and the three marks are to the lower left of that. The design on the front is of reddish flowers & buds with green & gray leaves-the back ground is mottled blue gray fading to yellows, tans & deep pinks.

I hate to be picky, but I need more than that. Is the Word “north” machine printed or hand painted? What is the front design of? And what colour is the clay, like bright white, cream or terracotta? Also where are your grooves situated? If they are place around the base in a circle, out towards the foot rim, they may just be situating marks for a kiln stilt, the thing that holds a plate up off a shelf when it is being fired so the glaze doesn’t weld itself to the kiln furniture.
If, however, your lines are in some sort of liner pattern, they could be a logo or maker’s mark, and if your “north” is Handwritten, you could have an interesting piece. I would suggest an antique dealer would be happy to talk to you, or there are “what ceramic is that?” books out there, but it is hard to be more useful without a longer description, or even better, a photo.

Painted by a Distant Hand $23.48 Highlighting one of the Peabody Museum’s most important archaeological expeditions–the excavation of the Swarts Ranch Ruin in southwestern New Mexico by Harriet and Burton Cosgrove in the mid-1920s–Steven LeBlanc’s book features rare, never-before-published examples of Mimbres painted pottery, considered by many scholars to be the most unique of all the ancient art traditions of North America. Made between A.D. 1000 and 1150, these pottery bowls and jars depict birds, fish, insects, and mammals that the Mimbres encountered in their daily lives, portray mythical beings, and show humans participating in both ritual and everyday activities. LeBlanc traces the origins of the Mimbres people and what became of them, and he explores our present understanding of what the images mean and what scholars have learned about the Mimbres people in the 75 years since the Cosgroves’ expedition.

Painted Ladies $24.98 In the early twentieth century the postcard provided an immediate and direct form of communication-rather like text messaging today. Made by anonymous photographers and hand-colored by thousands of unknown women working in their studios, hand-tinted cards became one of the most popular of art forms.

Painted Ladies provides a colorful and fascinating insight into the fashion, culture, and interests of the early twentieth century. British-born Nick Hedges is a well-respected photographer in his own right. He has published a number of books of his own work and has exhibited widely.

The Painted House of Maud Lewis $14.48 For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia’s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist. In 1984, the house and its contents were purchased by the Province of Nova Scotia for the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. In The Painted House of Maud Lewis, Laurie Hamilton, the conservator at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, shows how all the different parts of the house – the building itself, the painted household items, even the wallpaper – were catalogued, conserved, and prepared for exhibition. The preliminary stages of conservation treatment began in 1996 in a most unusual location: the Sunnyside Mall in Bedford, just outside Halifax., where conservators worked in full view of the public. The conservators used established techniques and invented new ones to complete their unique project and documented every stage of the restoration photographically. The book also features more than sixty-five colour photos including several taken by noted photographer Bob Brooks in 1965 for the Star Weekly. Today, anyone can visit the tiny house that has become a folk art phenomenon. The restoration story spans two decades, but the story of the Painted House continues as each new visitor to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia finds delight and inspiration in Maud Lewis’s joyous vision.

Plotted, Shot, and Painted $140 … introduces the reader to an extraordinarily rich variety of critical experiences, which far transcends the limitations of conventional biblical scholarship' (Prooftexts). This provocative collection of essays begins where Exum's earlier literary-feminist study, Fragmented Women, left off: with the questioning of the androcentric bias of the biblical text and with the aim of subverting its patriarchal perspective. It moves on to stake out new territory for feminist biblical criticism by considering what happens to biblical women in popular culture, in art, and in film and by foregrounding questions about the ways gender interests affect interpretation and about the roles and responsibilities of commentators and readers. Six essays approach gender bias in representation and in interpretation from various angles: 'Bathsheba Plotted, Shot and Painted'; 'Michal at the Window, Michal in the Movies'; 'The Hand that Rocks the Cradle'; 'Prophetic Pornography'; 'Is This Naomi?'; and 'Why, Why, Why, Delilah?''
