hi could any one please tell me more about these markings and when about it was made etc and who by most appreciated thank you

The mark may be read down in two stacks from the top right in Mandarin as 'Bai Yun Tang Zhou Bing Zhi' (Made by Zhou Bing for the White Cloud Hall).

The White Cloud Hall (Baiyun Tang) is dated to the Kangxi Reign (1662-1722) by 'The New and Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics' (2010) by Gerald Davison. This of course does not mean that your item, whatever it may be, is anywhere near as old.

Best regards,

hi it is a blue and white plate i will upload pic of plate so people can see and get rough age thanks

this is updated pic of plate im trying to find out more about all info gratefully appreciated thanks in advance

While the foot looks Chinese, the decoration on your plate seems a bit Japanese to me, with its chrysanthemums and a couple of the "friends of winter" on the border, as well as a painting style with slight flow blue quality that hints of Seto ware.

Perhaps others have a better perspective on this possibility.

Best regards,

Hi all,

Bill nailed it ....it is Japanese Seto porcelain from Meiji period. The characters should be read as Japanese/kanji and says " Hakuundo shubei sei". This was used by Kato Shubei the second who lived from 1848 till 1903.

thanks for information greatly appreciated so im taking it that this plate is not worth very much and no point puting into auction i take it

I'd hate to be accused of doing your basic research for you,but look at this website and judge for yourself.
