This is an Imari plate. Probably from the Meiji period (1868 to 1912 AD)from its drawing. The marks behind are typical of
Japanese wares that try to imitiate Chinese ones.
Perhaps this is an expert ware. There are also stilt
marks at the bottom of the plate. This is an
underglaze blue plate with overglaze patterns. Such
big plates are particularly popular in Europe and also
Southeast Asia (countries like Indonesia where they
are used for communal eating).
