martika

I found these at a carboot sale. Both have some chips, but I think they are still interesting. I love the handpainted decoration. My guess is both plates were made well before 1900. They are around 8.5'' in diameter. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Vetraio50! :)
Your plates are lovely, especially the one on the left with the flow blue color.
Thank you Bonnie! :)
Definitely Japanese Imari Martika. I've sold several of mine to a collector friend for 75-100 a piece. I forget what he told me about the rings on the bottom. The double and single blue rings can be used to date them. So I think one is older and one is newer. Maybe even as early 18th century. If I see him at the shop today I'll ask him and let you know. :)
Nice! I have an Imari plate, but nothing as nice as yours.
Very nice! And old!
Thank you Mikelv85, Jscott0363 and Pascale for your kind comments!!!
Mike - I appreciate your effort! I don't know anything about Asian pottery, even when I try to look it up on the net, I'm still not sure about my research. So a helping hand ( or mind) means a lot!!!
And thank you to everybody who stopped by and clicked on the love button! :)
