I found this plate and believe it could be chinese.  Do you think it is?  It is unmarked.  Thanks.

That is a low quality fake. And easily to recognize that it has no relevant age.

I would recommend that you start reading about the basic age signs and fake pages on the site. Color, glaze, foot rim, etc. are all wrong for an antique, that is most of the items you posted are not even vintage, or not Chinese.  And it is too easy to recognize that.

Hi Alliececilr, I hope you did not pay to much, I have bought my share of fakes and still have been burned a couple times, this is just part of the learning curve Im afraid, the more you look at the real stuff the better off you will be and like Peter said this is probably  the best site to learn.

Thank you for your encouragement Stan.  I only paid $4.00 Canadian at a garage sale.  They were Asian so I thought maybe it might be good.  I am busy with work and hunt for fun.  I will research more and may try some estate sales.  Enjoy your search!
