Wentworth China 'Petit Point' Pattern 7701 Porcelain Plate

This item is the underside of a fine porcelain plate manufactured by Wentworth China in Japan. The plate is constructed from translucent white china with a smooth, glazed finish. The base features a defined circular foot rim that shows some light shelf wear and minor darkening characteristic of age. The most prominent feature is the centralized backstamp, which includes the brand name 'WENTWORTH CHINA' in an arched black font, set above a laurel wreath tied with a small orange bow. Below this, the word 'JAPAN' is visible, along with a registered trademark symbol. The pattern name 'PETIT POINT' is displayed inside a stylized orange banner, followed by the specific pattern number '7701'. This design typically dates to the mid-20th century, likely from the 1950s or 1960s, reflecting the post-WWII era of Japanese ceramic exports. The craftsmanship appears consistent with mid-range decorative tableware of the period. Visible condition issues are minimal, including a few faint surface scratches and slight discoloration on the foot rim, but the glaze remains lustrous and the backstamp is crisp and well-preserved.
