    I found this blue and white china plate at the store today. It has some unusual writing on the back. I don't think it's Chinese or Japanese. I think it might be Arabic. Any idea of the age?

    BarnOwl, can you get a clearer shot of that signature on the back? It's just blurry enough that I can't quite see it.
    Thanks!

    They're Bactrian camels, so think it's reasonable to look to that part of the world.

    Agreed, especially as it's a sort of Tang horse on it.

    The mark is in Chinese you have it upside. It isa Japanese plate. I posted a plate with the same mark, but do not know the ID of the mark.
