cup with daoguang mark

[ssbill]

HI
I've seen this type of bowl a few times but it's the first time I've seen one with a mark. I don't think the faces are from the late 19thC and the foot  looks right in my opinion. I don't know about the mark or the overall decorations  and inscriptions. Thanks

You are quite right. The question is why in recent times Guangxu type faces and Daoguang marks go together, while they hardly did years ago. And why is the black writing is so well preserved while that of the later Tongzhi reign almost always is abraded or looking gray.
I am asking myself if this could be another wave of good fakes. Anyway, personally I perceive a Guangxu item with such a mark as being of lower collecting value than if there was no mark.

Just saw another one of this type. Clearly Guangxu style faces but a blue Daoguang mark. Careful with these...
