Yongzheng Copper Red Dish

[kardinalisimo]

About 6 3/8" in diameter. Too bad there is a damage. Any opinions on being period or later?
Thanks

Monochromes should best be evaluated via a hands-on inspection.

I was afraid you was going to say that. In general, are the footrim and the shape about right for the period?

[peterp]

The problem is that they are right for many periods, but the mark is not. It would have to be official kiln ware...

There is nobody in my area that I am aware of, who can do hands-on inspection. Auction houses probably won't bother to do that because of the damage( the hairline also shows on the face), which I guess makes the piece very low valued.
