Hi Guys,
I'm stuck on this one..
This was my nans and I am not even sure if it is antique may just be vintage.
After hours of research the only mark I can find that looks similar is Poole pottery..
Anybody know if I am right or not??
It also has a little 12 written inside the lid..
Thank you

Hey,,
Thanks for all the information..
I don't think there copies they really are beautiful plates and they don't look modern, when you look at the back they do look like they have some age too them.. I know that may not come accross in the photo's and they are so light and delicate not like modern porcelain.
 I was sold them as genuine antiques from an antique shop, are they allowed to do that if they are copies??
Also how can you tell a Chinese plate from a Japanese plate?? (Just trying to learn a thing or two from the experts

Antique Questions Forum / Chinese? Japanese? I'm all confused!!!

Hi Guys,

I am ever so confused.. (Doesn't take much Really.. )
I bought these 2 lovely plates from an antique shop and I believed they were Chinese. However, I have recently sent a few pictures to a well know auction house who say they are Japanese. I have done my own research regarding Japanese antique plates but can’t find anything similar to my plates..
I personally thought they were Famille Rose, they are well painted with no chips or cracks ect..
I could be totally wrong as I am new to all this but I dated them to early Qing Dynasty due to the tiny holes in the back that were made in the kiln..
So if you please, I would love to know your opinions on them and where in the world you think they may come from..
Thank you in advance
