Re: Japanese China plate
I am not an expert and I have been trying to learn few things about chinese and japanese porcelaine.
Pleaese check this link below, it is sort encyclopedia for these markings and checkout "Arita - Ken - Qianlong" marking. It seems very similar to that. Again I am not an expert but looking at the cahracters, the seem to closely match with yours.

It's Japanese Arita with a Late Edo period (1780-1860) marking. Pieces like this really need a physical examination, but often sell at auction for over $100.00.
