Message:: [QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 11332783, member: 8267"]I have found only one other plate with similar decoration, shown on pinterest - [ATTACH=full]541289[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/846536061182014684/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/846536061182014684/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/846536061182014684/</a> As usual, following the link to its supposed occurrence on Chairish does not lead to the same plate. And the description provided on the pinterest page, which I assume copies the original entry on the Chairish page, clearly does not apply to this plate - "DescriptionDesigned after Meissen's Blue Onion Zwiebelmuster pattern. Produced by the Meissen Oven and Porcelain Manufactory owned by Carl Teichert, Meissen, Germany 1882–1929 A hard to find shape and size No chips nor cracks nor crazing Very light and quite scant utensil marks Discolored scuffing on underside bottom unglazed foot Colors and glossy glaze are vibrant and crisp with little, if any, color nor gloss loss Blue oval stamp with 5 pointed star below." According to this blog article by an enthusiast, "– NO truly antique pieces are marked “Imari” in English. If such a mark is on a piece, it was made in the mid to late 20th Century."<a href="https://janvierroad.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/imari-beautiful-at-any-age/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://janvierroad.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/imari-beautiful-at-any-age/" rel="nofollow">https://janvierroad.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/imari-beautiful-at-any-age/</a> So, we have few examples of this style of plate, and only two examples of the same mark that Mikey has found, one of which has a paper label saying Made in Japan, and neither of which are the same pattern as Aries's platter. This is the mark on the piece Mikey found on invaluable, which is identified as Japanese -[ATTACH=full]541290[/ATTACH]<a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/three-mid-century-japanese-imari-woven-lattice-va-10-c-87f48b9aaf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/three-mid-century-japanese-imari-woven-lattice-va-10-c-87f48b9aaf" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/three-mid-century-japanese-imari-woven-lattice-va-10-c-87f48b9aaf</a> But Google Translate identifies the characters in the square as Chinese - Yong'an (eternal peace/safety)Jianzhi (supervised manufacture) [/QUOTE]
