    Neither. Most likely European, either Dutch or English. Looks like an early version of the India Tree pattern.

    Hi thank you for your opinion but I'm 100% sure it's Chinese also I'm 100% sure it's very old when this plate was made the dutch and the English didn't even know how to make porcelain. thank you anyway.

    I doubt Ming, but maybe 19th c. Bit odd that there are no Chinese characters on the base.

    Hi yes you are right I guess it can't be Ming as the shape is different but it could be Kangxi as I used to have a period Kangxi plate with the same shape but smaller

    This is typical 18th c Chinese export porcelain, in my opinion this dish is rather Qianlong (1736-95) than Kangxi. It is totally normal for export porcelain to have no Chinese characters on the bottom.

    And me, thanks for the correction. I usually refrain from commenting on Chinese pieces because I know so little. I did think possibly 18th c, but then erred on the side of caution! I knew it wasn’t Ming, though! :oops:
