    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    This pottery plate I have been searching for 2 days now, no luck, I'm tired.
    Anybody know anything about this type of plate with raised relief design and the stamped many numbers on back, sticker, writing etc. I wonder when it was made also if anyone knows, I'm so tired now, I think my computer and my brain are going to explode.

    Thank You

    If you put this in google, you will see them:

    “kutahya handmade plates”

    Other than that I can’t say how to know when or who.

    Kütahya is one of the main ceramics centres of Turkey. It has a very long ceramics history because of the suitable clay in the area.
    The making of traditional ceramics died out ca 1900, but modern production started ca mid 20th century. There are now countless ceramics manufacturers. They manufacture just about every conceivable style.
    I can't understand all of it, but 'çini' means china, in Turkish a general term for glazed ceramics. Turkish people love using terms like grand and special, it lends prestige but usually doesn't mean anything.
    Your plate is based on folk pottery with a bit of Iznik style influence. But it is not folk art as such, it is factory made and hand decorated, probably in the late 20th century. It is not signed, it just has the name of the type of ware and the factory.
    This could be the manufacturer of your plate, the name is closest to 'çaglar':

    Given the date of this original post, I am a bit surprised by one specific mark, and this may be too late for that, but perhaps helpful to others. As stated by others, "cini" does just mean pottery; Kutahya just the area/town where there are numerous factories cranking these pieces out, surely known by many. What is curious is the word "Türkiye". Though long the Turkish name for its country, it was not seen on items produced there until president Erdogan officially changed the name, and the UN adopted it, in December 2021.
