Ha! I have this piece too. No marks on the bottom of mine either. If it helps: I picked mine up at a thrift in California about 20 years ago. Which is another mark for California origin.
Thanks, Efesgirl!
"Actually seems to me like I've probably eaten more than a few such meals off of similar (if not identical?) plates myself, over the years...? <lol>" -Agreed!
Sad story. I'm glad he has a good home :)
The middle man looks more than uncomfortable. My take is: memento mori with the other men propping him up.
Haviland Limoges china. Green Manufacturer's mark "I" 1894-1931. Red Haviland & Co. Limoges Decorator's Mark "C" 1889-1931. So time period s/b 1894-1931 if my ID is correct. For better identification ...
Maybe molding it into a hat like the one he's wearing? I googled" Chinese basket hat" and looked under images. I'd say yes, Chinese.
Does it have any back marks? I.e. Writing on the bottom, or stamps pressed into the porcelain? If so that would be a good start and you may want to post a picture of the underside.
