The bottom and interior decoration tells me that they are either not Chinese or they are more recent. Don't get confused by the crackles.

Cheers Peter.
Also noticed it had two holes  on the edge-I presume for hanging it up.
I don't think I have seen holes in the back of Chinese plates for this purpose.

I have seen holes in the backs near the foot rim, they were put there esp. for hanging, I have seen that on Chinese export porcelain before, they were ordered that way by the buyers, but on this piece I agree with Peter.
