I bought this old bowl at a yard sale today. The owner says it was used to wash/soak the feet. It looks very old to me. Can you give me any help regarding age, use, and vaslue (if allowed). Thanks!

After a little more research, I think this might be a fish bowl from the Daoguang Period, but not sure at all!

Your foot-washing basin with apocryphal Qianlong reign mark looks like a late 20th century or subsequent product of one of the porcelain ornamentation factories in Macao or Hong Kong. The number of producers around China and the rest of Asia who make such transfer-decorated wares has increased since the start of this century.

Best regards,

Thanks so much for your reply, although I was hoping for older--the piece has many pock-marks and raised decoration as if it were hand painted, but I guess they can fake anything! Thanks again, Jack.

The ornamentation factories use Chinese porcelain blanks that have already been glazed and fired. I believe the transfer-decorating process involves reglazing and firing in most cases, which job can produce the kind of flaws you mention.

Best regards,

Bill H.
