Hello peter,

I took 4 more pictures of these plates next to the window so you can see the true colors... Are these plates Chinese? Did they come from the Ming Dynasty era? Are these plates rare? Because someone told me that maybe some rich family order this specific design on their plates back in the ming dynasty era, can this be possible? I would love to have more information you can share with me about these plates...

Thank you
svenn

Hi,
Pictures like these do not allow to see true colors. While it seems that this has a Ming blue and white decoration, the color or hue of the celadon is difficult to see. Pictures should be taken in daylight, near a window to allow for natural colors.

The bottom is essential for evaluation, but B/W plates with celadon underside were actually made in the Ming dynasty.
