Title: western made Chinese-style porcelain?
Post by: daxu on November 25, 2013, 03:15:07 PM
Found this in the charity shop I am supporting.

It is quite heavy. By looking at the front drawing, I am guessing it is not Chinese made, however it does look very old.

I can't see any meaningful marks as everything wear out, I can only see some mark bit like an 11 or 14.

just wondering if people here see similar drawing?

I have a plate (made by b&H around or before 1900), which is very similar to this ebay item:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19thC-Chinoiserie-B-H-Beech-Hancock-Pekin-6-1-2-Bowl-Rice-Blue-Transferware-/290735843212

Compare the ebay items with this plate, I actually feel the style of those plates are very similar. (i.e. the chinese people in the plate doesn't look like a chinese at all)

Also I haven't really see a fake for this kind of plates yet, as they are not expensive.

This is why I am thinking this plate is bit older than the 1900 ones.

They were making things like this up until the 20's. Bishop and Stonier is another company. 1880-1920 there were masses of the stuff.
