Re: mark and period porcelain plate |
Posted By: Arjan Posted Date: Mar 06, 2013 (10:09 AM) |
Message Hi Beli, To start with the mark: This is the conch shell, one of the eight Buddish symbols. The decoration is (as far as I know) a scene from the “Romance of the Western Chamber”. Both -the symbol and those kind of decorations- were used/made during the Kangxi period but … I have a problem with this one. The sprigs on the back of the rim ar to stylistic for the Kangxi period and fits more in the period around 1740. This (forgetting the colors and the clean bottom for the moment) worries me because I never saw examples with this decoration of that time. (there are some simular examples made in the 19th. Ct.) I can’t say it’s 19th ct. or even new but I don’t think it is what it pretends to be.. Regards, Arjan Post a Response |
