Featured 6" Qianlong bowl

Does this look of the period?

 

Here's what came up with a google lens search: The image appears to show an underglaze blue and iron-red 'dragon' porcelain dish featuring a Jingjintang four-character hall mark on the base, dating from the 19th century (Qing dynasty).

I really like it.

 

Ahh...Lovely bowl!
Dunno about period, but that is one fine dragon...Thanks!

 

I believe thats a 6 character mark though

 

There are issues with the mark itself. In the lower right character almost all the versions that are authentic below the scorpion thing there is a rectangle with a dash inside the rectangle. This one does not have that it is a series of parallel lines.

Also the character in the lower left is a little odd, the candleabra like thing does have 5 prongs which is good sign but to the right it has an upside down "g" whereas most are different. Still there are specimens that do show the upside down g like this butterfly vase sold at CHristies (about 4/5 of the way down the page there is a closeup of the mark):

That one still has the normal rectangle dash in the lower right char.

 

Its a beautiful plate and I love it. Shouldn't the foot rim have slight discolouration in it from iron oxide and such like in the clay if it was from said period? Looks a bit clean.
This is what im used to seeing

 

Here's an example from the metroplitan museum

The foot rim has a definite discolouration to it.

However heres one from Bonhams.

It is clean and white.

 

The link to antique marks .com provides enough information to scare me. I would be the type of person that unknowingly uses a treasure for an ashtray.

 

You might already be doing so. Heaven knows what I've donated back to charity shops or sold at a car boot for 50p.

 

Never sell anything if you are uncertain what the market value is.

 

I see a bit of yellowing, similar to Sunday's:

 

Noodle juice?

 

Skin oil from holding the bowl up? I can't tell the size.* Would an individual have eaten out of it?

*Duh. It's in the title, 6". Could be functional at that size, or not.

 

Not sure. Quite possibly just for decoration.

 

I just pasted the AI info which we know needs verification. It did say it was 19th c which I can believe, but with al things Chinese, I know next to nothing. I still like the plate -- such an "unbusy" design and limited palette really appeal to me.

 

Yes there are so many reproductions of reproductions with Chinese ceramics, its difficult to put a date on anything and tell what is genuine.

 

I think its def old because of the pitting on the bottom. So at least 18th century. Probably apocryphal because that second character is a but off but I dunno

 

Whose bowl is it anyway? Do you own it or is it listed on the interweb?

 

I think sunday silence posts items from auctions, etc., that he finds interesting.

 

Its from a recent auction
