Think it's kangxi, is it worth anything?

Hello,
Please read the Forum Guidelines regarding value.

It is unlikely that it is from the Kangxi reign. The on-glaze blue color was not available before the late Kangxi reign, the olive green color is more likely late Qing, that specific type of red used in the petals would not have existed before the Yongzheng period.
But the four character Kangxi mark is almost certainly not of the period. Four character Kangxi marks were mostly used in the Guangxu reign, a period that is called "Kangxi revival" by some.

No need for that if we do not talk about figures. It has collecting value, but the monetary value may not be that high if it is late Qing dynasty.
