Subject:Porcelain Plate with Butterflies
Posted By: Billy Davis Fri, Jul 29, 2016 IP: 100.9.76.230

Hello all, I got this plate and no markings but full of butterflies.
Does anyone know the style of this or possible era ?
Thank You

Billy Davis

the enameling is quite consistent with other examples of butterflies and fruiting vines that date from the 1930s but i have not seen this style of plate with this decoration before

What you apparently have is not a plate, per se, but the "stand" or tray for a late 20th century or subsequently made Chinese tea set. Here's another in the same pattern listed for auction on eBay for a buy-it-now price of $29.95.

Thanks Bill, oh well. I guess I have to keep on the hunt.
