Hi Alan,

As you already know the Qianlong mark is apocryphal. Actually, among the apocryphal reign marks used on post-Qing dynasty marks the Qianlong marks probably appear most frequently.

The colors used on your plate indicate that it was made in the 20th century, in my view. The colors are not the same as those available with mineral pigments of the Qing dynasty.
Maybe someone else can tell more exactly from when it could be.
