Subject:Wanli plate identification
Posted By: small j Thu, Nov 23, 2017 IP: 31.42.0.208

Hello members
I found for sale plate. Is anyone able to determine if this is the original Wanli? If it is Wanli what could be the value of such a plate, because I do not know how to talk to the seller? He is relentless.
Best regards
small j

Not Wanli, a modern repro in my opinion.

Dear j

This is quite a nice looking plate. However, the double ring in the base is transfer printed on. Therefore this object is modern.

You can also tell it's not Wanli simply from the colours used in the decoration, which are attractive but nothing like the limited wucai palette of the era.

Kind regards
J.Lim

Thank you for the good news. Correct, the circles do not look painted. Colors do not match. I thank you J Lim for placing a plate in the light of knowledge.
