Subject:Plate markings
Posted By: Jonny Utah Sun, Apr 06, 2014 IP: 65.130.241.89 I would like some information on the makers mark on this plate. It appears to be flow blue. Not sure of the age if that is known please include. |

Posted By: mike05 Mon, Apr 07, 2014 it's a crab mark, possibly means made in some folk kiln in Japan. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Apr 08, 2014 The mark is the "Peach and Bat", symbols of longevity and good fortune and No. 3364 in "The New and Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics" by Gerald Davison. Can't tell much about your plate's actual age from the photos, though it's trying to look 19th century I think. Weird looking hills. |

Posted By: Guy Tue, Apr 08, 2014 Find it still strange and fascinating that the mark represents obviously a tick. |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Apr 09, 2014 I think ticks are about as yucky a critter to Chinese as they are to everyone else. Here's a better formed Bat & Peach mark on the base of a circa Daoguang-period (1821-50) 6" saucer dish. |
