This 8" plates are made in the 'rice grain' pattern of china - made by piercing the porcelain and then glaze fills the holes creating a translucent 'rice grain shaped' pattern to the china.  This plate is stamped on the back, "TIENSHAN FINE CHINA, MADE IN CHINA'.  It measures 8" across, and stands 1" high. It could be used for tea snacks or appetizers - however you want to use them!  I have a number available if you wanted to build a set.  Very fresh blue and white pattern.  Shipping is included.
