An old plate

[debodun]

The marks was an easy ID - K&G Luneville France and that particular mark dates from te 1920s and 30s. It's a 10" diameter plate, however I'm not sure the significance of the design. Looks like an Asian junk. I put it on a pottery identification website and asked if it was a Chinese junk. The reply was, "You're half right."

Yabbut, which half?

The reply is a joking way of saying it's junk?

The boat on the plate is called a "junk".

Been there, implied that.

A junk is a type of Chinese sailing ship with fully battened sails. There are two types of junk in China: northern junk, which developed from Chinese river boats, and southern junk, which developed from Austronesian ships visiting southern Chinese coasts since the 3rd century CE.Wikipedia
