Subject:Qianlong porcelain bowl, hoping for ID help
Posted By: John Sat, Aug 22, 2015 IP: 73.158.193.131

Hello,
I recently purchased the large bowl at an estate sale. The mark looks like Qianlong from what I found online, but I don't know how to tell if it's really old, or authentic. The seller said their grandmother had it forever, so I think it has some age at least. Any insight from the forum would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, John

I uploaded 3 photos on my original post, and only one showed up three times. Here are the other two pics.

Where is the mark?

Google "Chinese export porcelain, tobbaco leaf and pseudo-tobbaco leaf patterns". These were in the famille rose porcelain family, exported from China to America and Europe beginning in the fourth quarter of the 18th century. Chinese export porcelain normally had no reign mark. Also the dark black outlied, circular area containing a Chinese human figure looks unusual. Genuine Chinese export porcelain from the 18th century is now rather expensive and consequently faked.
