North London Family Chances Upon Large Qing Dynasty Ceramic Plate

A family living in north London has unexpectedly discovered a large ceramic plate dating to China’s Qing dynasty.

The chance find brought an object from China’s imperial past into the lives of a British household. The brief account did not explain where the plate was found or how the family came across it.

The plate was described as unusually large, but no measurements or details of its decoration were provided.

Although it was identified as a Qing-era piece, the account gave no more precise date or explanation of how its age was established. Its condition and potential value also remain unreported.
