Cheng Hua mark or no?

the mark reads Chenghua but you need to recognize that Chenghua marks have been added to Chinese porcelain for centuries since the actual reign period; your nice plate looks considerably more recent than Ming. Someone who actually knows something about porcelain will no doubt weigh in, but to me this looks like it is trying to be a (Japanese) Imari-style plate; the Chinese did make some for export to Japan and reproductions are being turned out today as well, so wait for someone more knowledgeable to comment...
