Message To me this looks new, but I am no ceramics expert. What strikes me though is that a fellow named Anders Stahl bought an identically shaped salt dish (without the elevated legs and base) that had what appeared to be a mark on it indicating that it belonged to Duanfang with a title that would have dated it to around 1903. He posted photos on Facebook and on Gotheborg. Subsequent comment on Gotheborg suggested that although the dish looked convincing as Guangxu, Duanfang did not use the mark on the base of Anders's dish. If that is true, it may imply that the shape existed during the Guangxu era (but maybe not earlier?), or that fakers have now hit on a salt cellar shape that they are now making hay with.
