Title: Blue and white dragon plate
Post by: heavenguy on Dec 12, 2019, 07:45:28
sorry I posted the collection of plates first.

By the way, if you want to switch servers, count me in if you want to create some type of funding.

Thanks for your offer! At the moment I am mostly concerned with the quality of service which is difficult to estimate unless one has used a host. Funding is a concern, though in the long term... :-)

As to the plate below, the dragons have four claws and a slightly rounded tail tip. Based on that I would think it is likely early in the 19th century, perhaps about Daoguang reign, in my view.
The mark Chengheyuan-ji is a shop or workshop mark. Might have been for export tp SE Asia, but not sure. This is a more Chinese style decoration that could be as well have been used in China itself.
