    Hi all,
    Thanks for checking this out. I am not great at determining the age of Asian pieces and was wondering if anyone can tell me if the mark is apocryphal or accurate. Thank you!

    The mark reads 大清光緒年製 — “Made during the Guangxu reign of the Great Qing.” One small correction to the dates above: Guangxu’s reign was 1875–1908.

    Bosko’s Bukowskis example is a useful comparison: its description matches the combination of a dragon-and-phoenix centre and flowering gourd scrolls on a yellow ground. They catalogue theirs as Qing dynasty, with a Guangxu mark.
