Featured Chinese Celadon Plate

Bought a nice plate. 6" across. Can someone help with the mark? I have been to Gotheborg...unless I missed it.

 

I haven't found a useful list of these pseudo marks. They were common in the mid to late 19th century. Supposedly they are based on real marks, often the reign marks although I get the feeling many were just made up/copied by illiterate workers from a picture.

 

AN 18TH CENTURY CHINESE QIANLONG MARK & PERIOD .

 

Thank you Ce BCA and Elias!

 

It is an apocryphal/honorific mark, not of the period. Lovely celadon colour, but both the sloppy mark and the spotting are clear signs that it is not Qianlong.
As Ce said, mid to late 19th century. Made in one of the periods of unrest, when quality control was often lacking. But even with the imperfections, a pretty plate, and antique.

 

Any, someone else tells me this is Daoguang.

 

I'm not so sure about that, kraftblue. Scroll down to Daoguang in this Gotheborg section on Qianlong Emperiors and their reign marks.

Imo, with a sloppy mark like that you need a Chinese reader to see what it is meant to resemble.
I would think those spots are more consistent with the Xianfeng and Tongzhi periods, the periods of political and social unrest, when emperors had other things on their minds than porcelain quality control.
Let's see what more @Ce BCA can tell us.

 

Bakers I go to that site alot.

Any my mark is similar to the Tongzhi mark.

 

I'm glad you looked!

 

It won't be earlier than the mid 19th century, this is when they started to make them like this. It was probably intended to be painted with a rose medallion or rose mandarin pattern, the foot rim fault looks like it was from firing, so it may have been a reject, hence not decorated.

 

Thank you Ce BCA.
