Re: B & W brush pot-Kangxi?

Get one or more of the books about Transitional wares and you will see what the maker of this pot was aiming for. Little, Richard Kilbourn and Butler Collection are the ones to look for.

The stubby people are characteristic of very recent Chinese wares. The willow is drawn differently than on the early Kangxi ware your pot emulates.

The odd recessed bottom which is mostly dirty is a bell-ringer warning that this is not late 17th century or early 18th century. The underglaze-blue double ring can be drawn by anyone at all.

Looks like damage was deliberately done to the outer part of the lip to imitate the well-known 'moth eaten' flaking of Kangxi period porcelains (not typically so extensive as on your pot, from the appearance of the limited out-of-focus photos you supplied).

When you supply photos, try to get at least one straight-on photo (taken at 90-degrees from the vertical surface) so it is easy to see proportions.

Good luck,
Cal
