<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 316293, member: 2844&quot;]Aaron is right, it is the Chenghua mark. But the mark is one of the least important things in establishing the age of Chinese porcelain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some things look pretty convincing to me, but we need to know and see more:</p><p>If you measure the top diameter in differently places, is it always the same size? Or is the shape slightly warped?</p><p>Do you see a lot of tiny scratches in the glaze?</p><p>Could we see pictures of the edge of the footrim, where the glaze meets the unglazed lower part of the rim?</p><p>Also pictures of the sides, please. We would like to see all the decorations, the way they are painted, and the colour of the painting and the glaze. That way we can also see the lustre from different angles.</p><p>And one detailed shot of the decoration with the most blue, using a flash please. That way we can hopefully see where the cobalt originally came from, which helps to see if this could be Chenghua.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
