I recognized the Refiner's plate by sight. The two chips on the right side of the plate. That is a recurring theme with candyshop's stuff. There are usually a couple of chips in the porcelain, always off to the side--just enough to make it look used. It has gotten to the point that these chips are really a signature of the forger. Check the signal plate--a couple of chips, but not in the center. Same with the Flying A.
Anyway, I recognized the two chips from the Refiner's plate and knew right away it was the exact plate candyshop listed a while back. Then I looked at the pictures from the back of the plate. Most, but not all, of candyshop's signs have a distinctive rusty back, another signature.
I then checked Diamonspring's feedback, and sure enough, he has 4 positive feedbacks from candyshop.
I checked Diamonspring's other items for sale and found the Signal and Flying A plates. They have the exact same signature--a few chips off to the side, same rusty backs, and this batch of fakes all have the same gentle curvature. Because they were all cut from the same piece of steel.
