I have had these Chinese blue & white chargers for many years but recently started to really take a closer look at them. They were a gift from friends and are very beautiful.

I would like to know more about the history behind these pieces, especially the marking on the back.

I think they are Chinese Export from somewhere around the early decades of the 17th Century but would love comments from other people.

They are Blue & White with copper coloring inside the rim near the center and most of the floral areas have gold highlights.

Anyone having knowledge on these, please respond and also I would love to know what they might be worth.

Thanks,
Barbara

Kangxi Plates
by: Gary Raymer

Hi Barbara.

These plates are early 18th Century Chinese. They were made during the reign of the Emperor Kangxi and subsequently over-decorated probably in Holland some time later.

The mark on the back is a 'Shell' and represents 'A prosperous journey' it is a well known Buddhist symbol.

Regards,

Gary.

I wonder if they are Imari?? Early Imari was blue and white and the other gem colours, red, russet etc colours were added later. Hope this helps
