Subject:Chinese (?) porcelain seal mark on display plate
Posted By: Alex Mon, Jul 27, 2020 IP: 2a02:587:bc19:8d00:1
Could you please share your expertise on this mark and possibly any information on the legend depicted on this decorative plate? Thanks in advance, Alex.

The mark reads down and across from the top right either as 'Made in Guangzhou (Municipality)' (中國廣制 - Zhong guo Guang zhi) or 'Made in Guangdong (Province)'. I lean toward Guangzhou because it is the largest decorative ceramics-producing center in the province. How old the plate may be is debatable. I believe the pattern was in production during the first quarter of the 20th century if not earlier, but it may have been reissued in modern times. I found nothing on this mark with my online character search.

As to the pattern, here's the link to a forum thread from three years ago with a the same pattern on an unmarked plate and some possibly relevant implications about it.

Best regards,

Bill H.
