Need to confirm if it is Yongzheng. And if it is imperial court ware.
Thanks

none of these are imperial ware; they are all of recent manufacture. this one is supposed to be Yongzheng, the preceding one Qianlong, I don't remember the first one posted.

Well rat, I recall someone once telling me something axiomatic to the effect that if it waddles like a simpleminded duck, looks like a simpleminded duck, and quacks like a simpleminded duck, then it's safe to say it indeed is a simpleminded duck! However, I've also often observed that some quacks are simply quacks.

You are absolutely wrong about the brushwasher! This was a test to see if these forums are giving people the wrong information. Why? I have all the paperwork for it! I just though I would throw it up to see what response I would get out of it..

Now I'm curious what paperwork you will show us.

Dont need to show paperwork. I just like to throw a wrench in once and a while! It is obviously export. But, it is not 20th century. How do I know this? Study the color, design, and even better, microscopically! Also, where I got it is a bonus. Someone highly valued!
If rat would have not been so closed minded and inexperienced, I would have not replied with a comment, yes, I know I fed into rats stupidity, and commented with a childish response so forgive me and let's get back on track. No I do not have paperwork, I have the person I got it from.

Rod, it seems you just don't know when to take a hint. Please read the forum rules.

Yes sir!

Bill, what is your opinion of the brushwasher? The color of the bowl is similar to Yongzheng type blue and white. The microscopic bubbling matches time and period. The mark on the bottom though is sloppy. Confusing!
