Wondering if anyone can tell me more about this plate? Date of creation (dynasty), who this would be made for, if it looks authentic, value. Any or all of the above would be AMAZING

The form of the plate, particularly its low-beveled foot-rim with countersunk center, is typical of the late-19th century, as is the presence of a modicum of kiln grit on the base. The glazing and traditional painting style also bode well for a dating to around the Guangxu period (1875-1908), in my opinion. The Buddhistic lion and cubs (or Foo Dogs, if you will), especially the red ones, would make the dish appropriately auspicious as gift or serving ware at a wedding. Related to the iconography, I've seen the brocade balls with ribbons described as "eggs" from which other Fu Lion cubs would hatch. This would go well with the thoughts and blessings extended by all attending a traditional Chinese wedding, hoping many male heirs might soon ensue from the union to ensure a happy posterity for parents, grandparents and other close relatives alike.

See the link for an auction result for plates similar to yours. You might want to check eBay results too.

Best regards,

Hi, nice plate, this looks like it dates to the 19th century Qing. Not much else I can say, other than those are fu dogs.
