History: This is a Chinese export porcelain dish from Jingdezhen, the renowned porcelain capital of China. The dish features a bold Famille Rose-inspired palette with yellow ground, stylized floral motifs, and a prominent red character in the centre — the Chinese symbol for fortune or blessing (福, “fu”), often stylized in celebratory wares. The outer border uses a classic Greek key (meander) motif, a popular framing device in Chinese export porcelain of the late 20th century.
 
 
The backstamp clearly indicates its modern origin: post-1979 Chinese export ware, specifically from Jingdezhen. The presence of both Chinese and English script along with the style number "13" confirms it was made for international markets, most likely decorative or restaurant use.
 
 
Although not antique, such pieces are vivid representations of late-century Chinese decorative porcelain, often collected for their color, craftsmanship, and aesthetic value.
