Featured Chinese Dragon Plate, raised surface decoration, what is this?

Hi,
Here's a decorative round porcelain plate with a great Chinese Dragon on it. Mr Dragon is raised up out of the surface of the bowl, I do not know what sort of technique this is. Does anyone know how this was done, what sort of material was used?

 

I think it's called Moriage. Which I think may mean "toothpaste" in Chinese.

 

You are right - this is a thing! I started to Google "moriage" and the search engine suggested "Moriage Dragonware"

hardware, software - Dragonware!!

 

Sadly the article says the market was "Flooded with fakes" !

 

This is real dragonware; the question is the age. I've never seen one with a blue background before, but that doesn't mean much.

 

On Gotheborg

 

I like the blue background and that's one cool dragon! Very nice.

 

Very cool!
Did anyone notice the teapot on Gotheborg matches the op's plate?

I did

 

Cool looking plate.
I would have thought: ‘not old reproduction’ That blue is something different and really makes the dragon ‘pop’

 

It's nice, but it depends on what you mean by "old". I'm 76 so a lot of younger folk will rightly say something from the 60s is "antique" when to me it's just something from my teenage years!
