I don&#039;t read Chinese, and our Chinese translators haven&#039;t been here for a while, so I can&#039;t help you there.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]98204[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The plate looks mid 19th century, a period of conflict in China. Quality control was not a priority at the time. As you said, it is Famille Rose, with some underglaze iron red.</p><p>In spite of the flaws in the glaze it is an attractive plate, made in one of the Canton workshops, probably for export to south and southeast Asia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
