    Hi there! Would anyone be so kind as to help me identify these reign marks and let me know if I've a bargain on my hands or wasted my hard-earned money? :) I thought the dragon bowl at the end might be Qing Daoguang.
    Thanks in advance for any help. Tara :)

    Hard to say if you wasted your money ...it depends on the cost I suppose!

    They are all pretty nice and not bad quality at all but I think they must be copies, or at least the one with the sticker is ...these are not your run of the mill repros, they all have some very nice qualities.
    Let's see the base and foot of the dragon jar and a detail shot of the dragon's scales/head if possible.

    Also, I'd like to see the blue and white bowl foot profile and the design inside if poss.

    I think the jar is pretty nice; looks 19thc to me, not really sure about the blue and white thing, not really familiar with the shape so I really can't say what it is or how old - has a ming-like look but I have to say no idea on this one, sorry!

    Thanks very much Blooey. Wouldn't it be great if the plates were Ming? :)

    I haven't seen that incised or gouged swirl before on the base of the jar. That makes me think newer (20th c) rather than older, or possibly a utilitarian piece? But I really don't know. The shape of the plates with cut outs in the rims puzzles me.

    Me too! I can't see anything like them online. I think I was diddled! :/

    in my opinion the 1st 2 piece are the oldest and best. If you are reselling them I am sure you will do well

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I can't help with your questions, but think they are very pretty. And a belated welcome to Antiquers, @Tara Morgha !
