Today at Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood's saleroom, Exeter, Devon, UK, a pair of Chinese plates (Lot 519) were sold that were almost identical to the plate that I referred to in my posts of May 29 and June 2.

The catalogue description was ''A pair of Chinese plates each enamelled in the famille rose palette with the 18 Lohan beneath a a four clawed dragon within clouds, the border with song birds amongst prunus, peony and chrysanthemum, 26cm diameter, six character mark for Xuantong (1908-1912) and of the period. Estimate: £300-500.''

The plates were of a slightly later period than mine and the colours were different in places, but they could have been painted by the same artist. I have attached a catalogue photo.

The hammer price was £1500 (paid by an internet bidder). With premium and taxes, this grosses up to £1914. An estimate for a single plate would be £638 ($984) on the basis that a pair is worth about 3x the value of a single item.

All this means that I must congratulate Bill H for his spot-on identification and a pretty good estimate of value. I gave the plate to my daughter, so I hope that she appreciates it!
