Posted By: Bill H Mon, Nov 18, 2019 Your dish bears an apocryphal mark of "大明成化年製 - Dai Ming Seika nen Sei - Made during the Chenghua Reign of the Great Ming Dynasty". This reign, from 1465-1487, produced some well made and decorated porcelains, among which those in doucai (contending colors) patterns tend to set records when the come up for auction. |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Nov 20, 2019 I'm unsure of what you mean by "original or replica". It certainly isn't Ming, being Japanese, and only famous potters, who'd usually sign their name, would ever make just one. As to whether it's old, I would speculate it might have been made as early as the Taisho period (1912-26) or subsequently, since the pattern lacks the density of older brocade patterns I've handled. |
