Subject:Can someone help identify?
Posted By: Stephen Harris Wed, Mar 31, 2021 IP: 2603:6080:a300:ed00:

Here is a blue & white bowl I've had for a long time. Can someone identify what the inscription is? Thank you!

The marking does not look old.

Thank you, Deep. After posting this, I found the mark as Chenghua. Of course, it's not 15th century, but it seems older than 20th c., and it was found with a bunch of "export" items. Do you think it could be an 18th or 19th century piece?
Thanks to all who might be able to help.

Possibly Kangxi period with a Ming Chenghua mark.

Thank you Robert! I'll check that and try to determine a date, although I understand dating can be complicated for items without provenance. I'm trying to become more knowledgeable and this forum is the best!
