<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Mackay, post: 1538846, member: 4589&quot;]I&#039;m assuming these 6 1/8-6 1/4&quot; (15.5cm) plates are modern, however, I see the one with bamboo trees in the middle regularly described as vintage. Or older. Let me put it this way: <i>there&#039;s an awful lot of them in this design, in awfully good condition, for items as allegedly old</i>. My 2 have identical backstamps<u>. I&#039;m wondering about pattern names</u>. I&#039;ve found them both on ebay.com, the one with the 3 daisy or corn flowers called &quot;Empress&quot; in a larger plate (with 4 flowers) named the same on Replacements.com , but I can&#039;t put a name to the one with the bamboo trees on the right of the centre. I have seen it backstamped as &quot;Miyako Handpainted Porcelain Imari Ware&quot; with the same kanji, but no pattern name in English.</p><p>So - are they even mildly vintage ?</p><p>- Does anyone know a pattern name for the bamboo trees one?</p><p>- What does the kanji actually say?[ATTACH=full]228027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228037[/ATTACH] ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
