Zhengzhou charger with Kirin (ming)

[smak]

Hey guys,

When was this made exactly? Conditions are rough but I only paid $130.

12inches wide!

If genuine it would be early Ming. But I have doubts.
On the surface this looks like shipwreck ware or as if it had been waterlogged for a long time (due to bleaching), but it may have been made to look that way. The foot rim shape is odd; it looks like a Kangxi era foot rim, but the decoration should be early Ming. I would avoid such items.

Nice Ming plate 2.
