According to my book on marks, it reads " Shen de tang bo gu zhi ", made in the antique style for the hall for the cultivation of virtue. apparently a copy of a Kangxi or Doaguang period.

Because the mark says made in the style of, Im pretty sure that anything made in the style of something else is a copy.

Sorry Wan, I should have finished the sentence in my first reply, made in the antique style for the hall for the cultivation of virtue located in the old summer palace, apparently the old summer palace or Yuanmingyuan or garden of perfect brightness, originally known as just the'  imperial gardens', it is a complex of imperial palaces and gardens just to the northwest of the' Forbidden City'. Beijing. Originally built by the Kangxi emperor and expanded by the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors during the 18th century as a residence and for government affairs. Used as a daily residence by the Daoguang emperor who died there, it was then destroyed by European troops in 1860.

Hi Stan,

Thank you very much for a thorough explanation of what was written in my porcelain. I learn a lot from this forum. but it is also proof how shallow my understanding about this subject.
