Crown Ming Fine China 'Shiang' Oval Serving Platter

This is an oval ceramic serving platter manufactured by Crown Ming in the 'Shiang' pattern. The piece is constructed from fine china with a glossy white base glaze. The aesthetic features a delicate floral motif on the rim, consisting of blue bell-like flowers, green foliated stems, and small yellow accents. The design is framed by a repeating blue geometric circular border near the outer edge and a thin silver-toned or platinum metallic pinstripe bordering the well of the plate. The pattern is indicative of late 20th-century production, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, showcasing a classic and traditional ceramic style. Regarding condition, the surface shows visible signs of age and utility, including several dark specks or kiln debris embedded in the glaze (manufacturing artifacts) and some localized gray scuffing or utensil marks in the center of the well. The metallic trim appears largely intact on the visible portion, though thin stripes like these are prone to wear over time. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume fine china production of that era, characterized by smooth glazing and precise decal application.
