Jingdezhen Ceramic Value Appraisal

Mid-20th Century Jingdezhen Chinese Porcelain Plate

This item is the underside of a circular porcelain plate, likely manufactured in Jingdezhen, China. The base is white with a smooth, clear glaze over a fine-grained ceramic body. It features a prominent circular backstamp in the center consisting of green, brown, and white colors. The mark suggests a mid-20th century production era, likely 1960s to 1980s, containing Chinese characters and the English phrase MADE IN CHINA. This specific style of 'Liling' or 'Red Flag' style marking was common for export ware during the People's Republic of China era. Physically, the plate shows a smooth, unglazed foot rim which displays a slight yellowish patina from age and contact with surfaces. The glaze on the base appears relatively consistent, although some minor kiln dust or iron spots (small brown flecks) are visible, which is typical for mass-produced porcelain of this period. There are no immediate signs of significant structural damage such as cracks or large chips visible in this view, though some light surface scratching and minor rim wear are evident. The craftsmanship represents a standard industrial export quality, intended for both domestic use and international trade during the late Cultural Revolution or early Reform periods.
