That's one of several patterns of rice grain china that's been mass-produced by the Jingdezhen kilns in China since at least the Republic era (1912-49). It may be that your dish was made in the 20's or early 30's, but I believe these dishes also may have been produced since 1949 with what otherwise would be the older mark of 'wan yu' (jade trinet), which has been in use since the reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722).

Best regards,

Bill H.

Hi Elise,

The pattern on your Chinese plate is called the �rice grain pattern� . It is a kind of revival of the old Linglung technic of the late ming period and became populair around mid 19th. Century. It�s made till today so a bit hard to date. The mark (used since the Kangxi period) reads �Wan yu� meaning something as �Jade trinket�. I�m aware of rice grain porcelain with this mark made in the second quarter of the 20th. Century so it could be of that period (as oldest).

Regards,

Arjan

It's Late Republic Period based on the design, paint and thickness of the porcelain. It holds a mark which translate to jade jewel which is a mark used during the reign of emperor kangxi. The style is referred to as Linglong porcelain created by the imperial kilns based on 14th century Turkish/Islamic ware. Had your piece been Kangxi it would not hold the mark of Kangxi or Qianlong it would hold a mark of the kiln that made it. A period piece is rare to find and can command prices up to the mid six figures. There is a rare example in the Brooklyn Museum with a 6 charector mark in pure white in the style of yongle ming porcelain. This work was made for the emperor not export.
