Flowers;
VERSAILLES (OMN) dit
• AKA:
Dithridge & Company (1862-1901 merged Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass & Glass Co. 1902), Introduced: 1900 Introduced
• NOTE: Brad Gougeon introduced in January 1900 (China, Glass & Lamps) but may have been made in late 1899. Number markings 190-200, inclusive, on pieces

Regards the bright orange plate/platter: production of Versailles, particularly in this orange colour, was continued by Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass, and Glass Co ("Pilabrasgo") after they acquired Dithridge in 1901. Sid Lethbridge The maker of this piece is not definitively known but in this color is "most certainly Nicholas Kopp but we can only guess when--Kopp Glass Co-1900, Pilabrasgo 1901-?" My guess is "Pilabrasgo as that same color can be found on Dithridge pieces that probably ended up at Pilabrasgo after the merger"--Brad Gougeon.
