Subject:Jiajing Dragon Bowl - Authentic or Later copy?
Posted By: Maire Mon, Oct 21, 2013 IP: 92.23.80.235
I recently purchased this porcelain bowl at an auction, it was very dirty when I collected it and after a wash has come out clean and damage free.

The mark seems to fit with Jiajing, but I'd like a second opinion as I know there are many later copies on the market.

Dear Maire

I don't know what the others think, but this is a modern object. Pretty nicely painted, and not necessarily "fake" as such - I don't see any artificial dirt,. for example.

My opinion is based on the excessive smoothness of the glaze inside the foot, and something in the sterility of the paintwork. Maybe someone else will disagree.

Regards
JLim

I think that this is an homage to an earlier style. It seems too clean for something almost 600 years old. The style and use of lines seems modern and too crisp. I've attached an (uncleaned) example; the piece is part of our family Asian art collection. It was positively reviewed for authenticity as a Ming Jiajing wucai piece of the period back in the 1980s and is currently being re-evaluated. It was an official gift after WW2 to my grandfather, Col. John B. Schmidt, probably from the Chinese community of Kobe, Japan.
