Subject:Qianlong mark Sgraffito bowl
Posted By: Vicky Thu, Jan 02, 2020 IP: 2a02:c7d:da5e:300:11 Can anyone assist me with some information about the QIANLONG mark on this bowl, or any general information about the bowl? Much appreciated. |

Posted By: OLiver Watson Sat, Jan 04, 2020 Hi This is very nice and I think you have an Imperial Qianlong bowl.The mark looks correct and lines up with the pattern and the enamels are correct and there is some wear on the gilded rim which has the soft look of genuine gilding.The footrim appears right with a slight iron edge to the inside of it.Congratulations this is worth a lot of money |

Posted By: Vicky Sun, Jan 05, 2020 Thank you so much for the information Oliver. I had done some online research, which mostly came up with Daoguang marked Sgraffiato bowls. I found a few on Qianlong marked ones on a couple of the large auction house past sales sites, but could not be sure when making comparisons. |

Posted By: Vicky Tue, Jan 14, 2020 Thank you so much for your feedback Oliver. I am so very confused. Since we last communicated I took Mark's advice and sent images to Sotheby's and Bonhams for inspection. Bonhams did respond quickly and said they would need to examine in person. I went in this morning but unfortunately their lead specialist, who I had been contacted by, was abroad and so his assistant took a look. She felt that it was not Qianlong due to the cobalt blue internal lamps decoration, which she thought was 'not fine enough' for the period. Although she did say the weight was ok and the external decoration was very good. Any thoughts you have would be very welcome. |

Posted By: OLiver Watson Wed, Jan 15, 2020 Hi,just had a look at a copy(fake) and funnily enough the blue inside was much softer and tended to show more detail yet it was definitely not mark and period and did not sell.Also the ground was much brighter almost shiny which would suggest fake ( though some of the Daoguang ones are like that).I will stick with my opinion,I personally think the blue on the inside of your bowl is correct. |
