Description: FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE..... Estate find... Dating from the mid 20thC, hand enhanced polychrome plate marked on the back as illustrated... "Fabricado em Macau" (Manufactured in Macau) The pattern has been identified as "Thousand Butterflies". Portugal had a presence for centuries in Macau and had been influential in developing the export of porcelain goods prior to Macau becoming part of Communist China. As a result, Portuguese taste in ceramics leans towards the oriental, and it is quite common to find this type of hand painted wares used as decor in most Portuguese homes. This particular plate probably dates from the 1950s/60s. It measures 20.5 cm (8") in diameter, and has survived free of chips, cracks or cutlery marks. Having been found in a wall display of decorative plates, it had escaped service. I inserted a standard size playing card in one photo for size reference. MUCH OBLIGED
