This exquisite, old plate is 25.5cm x 39.5cm.

It was sold to me as a 18th Century Qing Dynasty plate but I believe it could be older than that, it’s just an educated guess. There may be clues to the age in the mark on the back but I can’t translate, I welcome a translation of the mark as I’m quite fascinated with this old plate.

I have only found one other like it in an extensive internet search and the condition is not as good as this one but it does back up the description of my purchase.

Whatever the provenance, it’s obviously very old.

It’s strong and sturdy but there is certainly age related wear. Besides some surface wear and cracks the most obviously flaw is the detached edging down one side. The plate is edged with an inlaid, twisted metal (brass or copper) this edging is intact all the way around but it has come away down one side and seems to be slightly too big to sit back into the groove comfortably, it’s as if the actual wooden plate has shrunk a little over time. This twisted wire border is also around the base underneath the plate where is is still completely inlaid and attached.

Photos 10 shows two areas where the wire is set into the wood and photo 11 Shows two parts where it’s come away from where it should be inlaid.

I’ve provided lots of photos for a clear and honest description of this item and it’s condition.

I am happy to combine postage and pick up is available from KATOOMBA 2780
