Antique blue and white platter

I agree with you Peter, but she sure seem set that it was earlier.

[Stan]

May I ask what you mean by withered trees?

[peterp]

It is never possible to be 100% sure, because later imitations are a possibility in many cases. I rather rely on the body signs...

Withered trees is what the Chinese use for trees without leaves. So, you have only branches like the trees in a colder climate in late autumn.

[Stan]

Learning is what it is all about, you stated that Kangxi trees are withered I was trying to understand your statement, my definition of withered might be different from yours.

[Stan]

Hi Peter, I see what you mean about the withered trees in the Kangxi period decoration.

[peterp]

Another definition is just "a tree with leafless branches" ...
