Chinese? Japanese? I'm all confused!!!
« on: June 06, 2013, 07:06:40 am »
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 ;D
