<p>[QUOTE=&quot;R Ewing, post: 8604037, member: 14664&quot;]I&#039;m finally getting ready to sell off some of my things but I cannot find anything to compare to this plate.&nbsp; I must have gotten it at an estate sale some years ago.&nbsp; It sure seems old, and has dirt embedded in a pore on front, more pores on back, and inside a glaze chip on back.&nbsp; Glaze has worn away from some of the edges.&nbsp; Not sure if colors will come through right, but it is a bluish/yellowish slightly greenish cast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter is about 9.25&quot; or 23.5cm. The rims rise up fairly high, height when laid flat is about 1.25&quot; or 33mm.&nbsp; It has softly glazed raised hatch marks, 5 strokes per group with one large and 4 small strokes, above and left/right of rooster and similarly below.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing similar I can find online is the Song Ge Ware, celadon type items but none of them have chickens.&nbsp; The chicken design here is almost graphic, a simple shape body and feet, and some flourish to the feathers (note the round balls between feathers for artistic effect.). </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting piece, I bought because I liked it but I don&#039;t know it&#039;s story.&nbsp; Anyone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
