Message Dave, there's little else I can offer in the way of relevant positive information, as my main expertise is in the area of antique Chinese export porcelain, and your dish appears to be European. Its clay is described as having the wrong color, its polychrome enamels are mostly off-register for the Chinese palette, and its pattern lacks any coherent presence of the expected Chinese symbolism. In my opinion, the term "clobbered" probably is inapplicable, because some European polychrome transfer wares were hand-colored. As to the definition of "charger," I wouldn't want to risk offending the lexicographers at Oxford or Webster's by deigning to compete with their dictionaries. Although still somewhat of a neophyte around the forum myself, I gather that there's still a modicum of preliminary basic research that everyone is expected to do at home on our own. Cheers, Bill H.
