[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9854344, member: 2844"]Nice find, Mikey, and yes, it is legit.:) It is also known as Swatow Ware. Swatow was the European name of Shantou, the port where Zhangzhou ceramics were thought to have been shipped from. Later research revealed that the Ming period ceramics were shipped from another port, but the name is still used and if you google it you will find other dishes like yours. We get these here too, because a lot of Zhangzhou/Swatow Ware was shipped to Indonesia etc. I have a few Zhangzhou dishes myself, but not this type with the red and green decoration.[/QUOTE]
