Subject:Late Kangxi Plate
Posted By: Bokaba Sat, Jul 08, 2017 IP: 2605:e000:af16:3b00: I recently purchased this blue and white plate. It is about 9 inches in diameter. Is this a late Kangxi period piece? |

Posted By: plasticman Sat, Jul 08, 2017 If you google "M.Ford Creech antiques" and look under ceramics,Chinese export, you will note the pair of plates recently sold. They were incorrectly listed as c. 1600 instead of c.1700, but they are a virtual match to your plate. I hope this helps your affirmation as to the Kangxi origin of your piece. |

Posted By: Bokaba Sun, Jul 09, 2017 Thank you for your assistance plasticman. I had difficulty distinguishing this plate from subsequent Yongzheng and Qianlong period underglaze blue exports. What distinguishes this period from say later exports and earlier Kangxi exports? I noticed a more sapphire blue rather than a blacker blue that I have seen on many Qianlong plates. Also, I don't recall seeing rim decoration on Qianlong pieces (I think I've seen some polychrome decoration on the rims of Yongzheng pieces). |

Posted By: plasticman Mon, Jul 10, 2017 Thank you for your inquiry. I have a difficult time with photographic "blue" definition. Sometimes I am completely flummoxed by a picture that is of one shade, but appears to be quite another in the "flesh". A finding rarely mentioned on the quality that separates the earlier from later work, is remarkably, the reverse blue decoration. The earlier work ,it seems to me ,is more free flowing and of more graceful composition. As your plate has such a well- painted, robust figure centrally on the obverse side, it just "feels" to be period. |
