The mark on the bottom of your piece is 華榮堂製 (in traditional Chinese characters).This translates to English as: "Made by Hua Rong Tang"
(or "Hua Rong Tang Zhi" / "Hua Rong Hall Made")
  • 華 (Huá) = magnificent, splendid, China/Chinese
  • 榮 (Róng) = glory, honor, flourish, prosper
  • 堂 (Táng) = hall, shop, studio, or company (commonly used in names of workshops/shops)
  • 製 (Zhì) = made, manufactured, produced
So "華榮堂" (Huá Róng Táng) is the name of a workshop, studio, or company — often romanized as Hua Rong Tang, Huarong Tang, or Hua Rong Hall. The full phrase 華榮堂製 means it was produced/made by Hua Rong Tang. This is a very common mark found on Chinese export porcelain and ceramics (especially from the late 20th century onward, though some pieces are attributed to earlier periods like late Qing or Republic era). It appears frequently on hand-painted decorative plates, vases, bowls, and similar items sold in Western markets — often featuring motifs like roosters, flowers, butterflies, or chinoiserie-style designs. It's not an imperial reign mark or an ancient antique mark, but rather the brand/studio mark of a producer or exporter (likely based in Guangdong/Hong Kong or similar areas involved in export ware). Many such pieces are modern(ish) Chinese export porcelain rather than very old antiques. Your item looks like a classic example
