This was listed as Bencharong, but it could be made for any country in Southeast Asia. Those colors!! Beautiful Qianlong charger or large plate. It's 11 inches in diameter and also 2 inches high - so pretty large. This was made in Jingdazhen, China for the Southeast Asian market.
i love the colors in this plate too - and the buddha hand lemon.

finger citrons are called fo shou, the urban legend is that it sounds like fu , which is not completely true , but it resembles
it got the meaning of longevity , but social cultural it is more than that it is also an reference to survival , something like ok granny you did well you outlived the series Little house on the prairy on the TV for 99 years , that,s an achievement , i hope you outlive another 2000 episodes
haha! and i hope you outlive 2000 episodes of 'The Crown'!
