Subject:A celadon crackle and blue porcelain bowl Chinese
Posted By: Kasia Fri, Apr 28, 2023 IP: 128.232.195.137
Hi there,
Could someone help with with this beautiful bowl. It is quite small (only 13 cm diameter). Is is possible that it is from Kangxi era? And have you ever seen one like that?
Thank you.

Kasia

The bowl has a six-character apocryphal mark of 'Made during the Kangxi reign of the Great Qing Dynasty' (Da qing Kang xi nian zhi). In my opinion, the uneven brushwork of the mark is incompatible with that reign period (1662-1722) and the almost unblemished dragon motif suggests it may not be painted but applied by transfer. Stroke characteristics in the mark do seem to me to be similar to some seen in the Guangxu period (1875-1908) and warrant a dating of circa 1900 or somewhat later.

Best regards,

Bill H.
