[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 430795, member: 2844"]A lovely plate, Mugz. The bird is a Chinese phoenix, which always looks like a glorified pheasant.;) Polychrome is the name for anything multi-coloured, so it is the right term for this too. It is Chinese, and the more precise term is Famille Noir. Noir means black, and when the dominant colour on Chinese polychrome porcelain is black it is called Famille Noir. It has age, but the photos are a bit blurry to judge it properly.[/QUOTE]
