Subject:Is this mark original or fake? Appears to be Xuande.
Posted By: John Wed, Sep 26, 2018 IP: 2600:6c42:6300:389:2 I have seen an item with this mark and I'm trying to find out if it's original to the period or a modern knockoff. |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Sep 30, 2018 The "De" character used on your bronze is not of the Ming period, as it has an extra stroke that was not used during Ming times. The Ming version, still employed in Japan, is 徳. The Qing and later version is 德. |

Posted By: TimG Sat, Sep 29, 2018 Mark and period Xuande bronzes are exceptionally rare and is the most copied mark among Chinese bronzes through the Qing and later periods. |
