Good evening,
I would like to have some help on this, please. It is from Qing dinasty, earlier, later?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Regina

Hi Regina,
I think this is a fake Guan kiln item. Genuine Guan kiln items would be from the Song dynasty, but they are rare and not usually available on the open market.

I do not think it is Qing either, due to firing support traces, which are unusually crude for any period. Further, not sure from the pictures if this is dirt on the glaze or if the glaze surface is damaged and something is ingrained, but this is not normal. Looks as if the surface has been treated to look that way, in order to give an appearance of old age, that is to conceal a new looking glaze. But, in fact even items that are very old hardly ever show this, mostly it is the fakes.

Again, you are more likely to see a genuine Guan item in a museum or major auction, and they are pricey.
