Vintage Tienshan Rice Flower porcelain salad plates

"Rice Flower" or "Rice Grain" pattern. This style, also known as Linglong (meaning "exquisite" or "translucent"), is a specialty of Jingdezhen, China, which is renowned for its long history of porcelain production. Design Details Translucency: The "grains" you see in the porcelain are actually small cutouts filled with clear glaze, creating translucent spots that resemble grains of rice when held up to the light. Center Motif: The central design typically features a chrysanthemum flower. Brand/Maker: This specific variation was popularized in the West by makers like Tienshan (specifically their "Rice Flower" line) during the mid-to-late 20th century
