That porcelain could fetch a handsome amount.

love to see the back of one of those. The Chinese by the 1600s were making a lot of those for import. They had different marks and some were knockoffs.

Ming porcelain is supposed to be quite valuable.
The dishes and plates in the photo looks like
a small fortune. (If it's really from Ming era China
or earlier.)

I swear I eat off of pottery that looks like that every day.
