paid 85 usd I'm hoping its early still a nice piece and I'm happy with it
There is a small chip in the glaze looks like happend while fireing does that effect the piece ?
Nice bowl, I think I would have bought it my self for that price, could you send a closer picture of the foot rim and a close up of the mark also a picture of the inside of the bowl thanks.
Thank you Stan here are more pictures
Thanks Ken for the additional pictures, this looks good to me, weather it is mark and period is beyond my expertise, I think a hands on inspection is needed on this though, by a qualified expert, if it is mark and period it would be worth a lot of money, lets see what Peter says.
Floral decoration on coral red background.
I agree with Stan. It could be Qing dynasty, but normally I would attribute this type of decoration, the coral red ground and green base rather to the Tongzhi to Guangxu reign.
The green base was first used in the Qianlong reign, I believe, but the earlier on it was a lighter bluish green. This green tone is better known for its use in the Tongzhi reign. That is also about the time the coral red background became more popular.
