This is known as Chinese Imari, Late Kangxi period, could you take a picture of the bottom at an angle so we can see the shape of the foot, if the out side foot is angled it is late kangxi.

The shape of the foot Stan mentioned is that of the dish/saucer. Cups do not have the specific shape we are looking for. Also, if there is something painted inside, on the bottom of the cup, please photograph that too. Thank you.

Good question Peter, I was thinking it was the bottom of the saucer.

I know that you meant that, Stan. Just wanted to make sure that haukech is aware of this too... :-)

I'm afraid that you misunderstood. The meaning of taking the foot rim at an angle is "not" from straight above, but at an angle of perhaps 40-60 degrees. Here only the shape of the foot rim (or its cross section is important) is of interest, so a partial view is fine. The foot rim of the cup does not help, only the foot rim of the saucer is of consequence.
