plate is decorated with a blue and white floral design. The center of the plate features a lotus flower, surrounded by peonies, chrysanthemums, and other flowers. The flowers are rendered in a delicate and naturalistic style. The plate is also decorated with a border of scrolling vines and leaves.
I believe the plate is a Chinese export plate from the Wanli period (1573-1620) of the Ming dynasty. It is likely made in Jingdezhen, China. I am really not sure.
