Dear Matos

That is not the impression I got from your initial comment. I don't think you are being entirely straightforward. But be that as it may.

As for my opinion: this object is not Xuande in origin. An object like this from the Guangxu period would not be "a excellent antique" as you claim; but this piece does not even have that distinction!

This object is a brand new fake. Notice the cartoony shape of the dragon's red claw, and the reflections show that the enamel has absolutely no wear but is still "gritty".

I have seen fakes very, very similar to this in shops around Sydney Australia. It seems to be a popular current subject for fakers. Sorry Jay.

Matos, if you can see something I can't then please inform, and I will withdraw my criticism.

Regards
J.Lim
