Subject:Can anybody identify this
Posted By: Rob Mon, Apr 21, 2008 IP: 79.153.19.154

I bought this in Australia maybe 15 years ago and it is solid porcelain painted using glazes and maybe multiple firings.

This piece is about an inch thick, about 5' wide and 3.5' tall and is very heavy.

One picture has a motorcycle helmet in it which should give you a good idea of the size.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob.

Hello Rob,

Good clear close-up pictures of the enameling and the inscription in the upper left corner will help Forum members with your identification.

Cheers,
Michael

Ok, I should have attached something. This is pretty much all I have for the moment as I am in Spain at the moment so can't really take any more pictures until I get back.

Does anyone have any idea about this?

Here is a high definition version of the photo. Sorry about the quality, but it was taken in a storage unit which has very little ambient light.

Regards,
Rob.

I would say this was new when purchased. This looks very similar to other large overly busy decorated wall plaques that are shown at every modern Chinese Jingdezhen ceramic exhibition. Older late Qing and Republic period plaques tend to be much smaller and dainty. Nothing this massive.
