<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 234861, member: 2844&quot;]Don&#039;t know why it would have to be Ming. I personally love Yuan, have some very nice Song pieces and am not at all adverse to Qing. Wares from all these periods can be just as valuable as Ming, but you were asking if this could be Ming. No one has any idea until they see the back, the detail of the glaze etc. Preferably without the dirt of course, it hides the glaze, making it very difficult to be judged at all.</p><p>Is there a reason why the plate is dirty? Is someone trying to make it look old?</p><p><br /></p><p>Some pointers on Ming blue and white.</p><p>Ming painting has &#039;bones&#039;: firm lines, firm outlines, that are filled in with diluted blue, firm shapes.</p><p>Although Ming blue has the fame of being the most beautiful, Qing blue is often much more stunning. Qing has intentional blue shading, is often more subtly painted.</p><p>Themes and designs of all previous periods are used in subsequent periods, they still are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
