My neighbor wants to sell this piece and she asked me for help... unfortunately I don't know much about antiques. Can anyone here help me please!

The mark is Qinglong but the plate is modern. Certainly no older than 50 years. The design is based on the Rose Medallion palate which was popular in the 19th century but still made today.

Hallo Miggy,

Unfortunately I can only agree with Pyro. Second half 20th century and marked with "Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi" These later "Rose Medallion" items were often decorated in Hong Kong and Macao.

Regards,

Arjan

Thank you so much!!

My neighbor told me that she bought it at about 15 ~ 20 years ago.

I did some research online, but the price range was from $ 10 ~ $ 250/per peice. What would you suggest on how much could this peice sell for? How old could this peice be ?

You gus are so awesome!!!! I really appreciated !!!!

My neighbor wants to sell it for $ 15. I hope thats the right price for it.

One more question though... she also has a pewter tea cup ? that she can't remember when/where she bought it from- Any suggestion on that ?Thanks!! Miggie

I would suggest $10. Such modern pieces are still very common.

I'll beg your pardon in advance for the frankness, but I hope to dissuade you and your neighbor of any illusion that this dish is anything but a late 20th century piece of 'pottery barn' caliber, truly plebian porcelain, probably made originally in a Chinese kiln but likely given its imitation rose medallion decoration in Hong Kong, Macao or elsewhere. If your neighbor makes ten dollars on it, they'd be getting a generous deal. However, anyone asking and getting $250 for something like it, should be run-in to the nearest police kiosk and arrested for highway robbery! The dish shown is anathema to any serious collector and has no inherent artistic or intrinsic value for anyone who knows anything about what real antique rose medallion constitutes in the way of workmanship and attractiveness. Here's a peek in case you've never seen what I'm talking about before. A 14.5-inch charger with first quality hand painted decoration dating to about 1875, a century before your neighbor's dish was stillborn.
Best regards,

Hahaha..... Bill, your funny.. :) Thank you for your info. That is a nice plate,even me can tell the difference between this one and my neighbor's. Thanks again! Miggie
