Posted By: rat Mon, Sep 16, 2013 it is meant to be an artemesia leaf, a mark that appears on Kangxi ceramics and later reproductions and imitations. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Sep 17, 2013 This symbolic mark of the Artemisia leaf is listed as No. 3354 and 3355 in the "New and Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics" (2013 updated edition) by Gerald Davison. According to that source, the Artemisia leaf is a symbol of healing and health, as well as one of the Daoist "Eight Precious Objects". |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Sep 18, 2013 The chrysanthemum is an important icon in Japan, where it symbolizes the emperor. Might want to aim your research in that direction. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Sep 27, 2013 That cabbage leaf bowl has a decorative feature unlike any I've ever seen on such dishes, which isn't all that many, as I don't collect the pattern. The white stalks appear either to be molded or slip-painted in high relief in the Japanese moriage style. I've never seen a mark like that one either, though the iron red "bat & peach" mark was popular during the Daoguang era and later. The enamels don't seem to be as intense as on post-1850 Chinese dishes with this design I've handled, but except for the stalks, the painting style is pretty much what I'm used to seeing from China. Definitely more research needed, though. |

Posted By: Jennifer Tue, Oct 01, 2013 Thanks so much for your thoughts Bill. There is an auction house that would like to auction it, but they do not know exactly what it is, either. I'm not certain of the value on it all all, much less anything else about it. I had originally thought Daoguang (hence the first thread) but am now leaning more toward Kangxi. You are right, there is applied decoration on the veins of the cabbage leaves. Quite an anomaly. |
