Sheffield Regency Gold Fine China Plate

This is the underside of a circular porcelain dinnerware plate from the Sheffield 'Regency Gold' collection. The plate is constructed from fine white porcelain with a smooth, high-gloss glazed finish. Centered on the base is a clear gold-tone maker's mark consisting of the Sheffield logo with a crown, the pattern name 'Regency Gold', and the manufacturing specifications 'Porcelain Fine China, MADE IN JAPAN.' There is also a copyright mark indicating '© 1985 JMP MARKETING,' which places the manufacturing era in the mid-to-late 1980s. The plate features a raised foot rim to provide stability and protection for the base. In terms of condition, the porcelain appears well-preserved with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing on the underside. The foot rim shows very minor shelf wear consistent with light use. The glaze remains bright and reflective, indicating high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of Japanese-made porcelain from this period. The simplicity of the white body suggests a formal design, typically accented with a gold rim on the topside, which is not fully visible here.
