This plate from my collection is an example of "Chinese Export Pottery". Because there are people on alternate panels, it is an example of true "Rose Medallion". It was made in China. Plates with no markings on the back were produced before 1850 and are considered to be "best quality" in this category. Plates made after 1891 are marked "China" on the back and plates made after 1920 are marked "Made in China". Your answer to question number 5 is incorrect. This gives somebody a chance to steal your win, correct? ID: 1052888 ·
