Chinese Porcelain Bowl Help Please

I got this bowl at a auction it just caught my eye and I had to have it. I tried to find who made it and info on it but no luck. If you know anything about it I would appreciate it. It is 10" across top and 4 3/4" tall and 4 3/4" across the bottom.

 

Go to gotheborg.com, click on Chinese marks on the left, scroll down to Guangxu Nian Zao. It's in that section.

Guangxu 1875-1908

The reign of the Guangxu (Glorious Succession) Emperor lasted from 1875 to 1908. His name was Zaitian AISIN-GIORO. He was born August 14, 1871 and ascended the throne in 1875 at the age of four as the tenth emperor of the Manchu Qing dynasty and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. He was adopted by the Empress Dowager Cixi as her son.
Until age nineteen, in 1894, the Guangxu Emperor was "aided" in his rule by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Four years later, in 1898 at age 23, he initiated the Hundred Days' Reform in an attempt to modernize China which was abruptly stopped same year by Cixi, after which he was put under house arrest until his death in November 14, 1908. The cause of his death remains a mystery until this day.
He was succeeded by Empress Dowager Cixi's handpicked heir, his nephew Puyi, who became the Xuantong Emperor.





And look as rose family, rose medallion perhaps.

 

Recent. Nothing to do with Guangxu reign.

 

Hello,

The pattern is called "Rose Medallion" (as say_it_slowly pointed out) which was a popular motif design. While it is a modern piece (done in the style of the Guangxu period - the Chinese constantly throughout their porcelain history referenced earlier styles in appreciation) it seems like it's quite high quality and hand painted so it was definitely worth the buy if you enjoy it. You will almost never find an individual maker as each porcelain piece is usually done by multiple experts (potters, glazers, enamelers/painters).

Thanks everyone I thought it was pretty just paid 15.00 for it so it will be enjoyed

 

how can you tell its modern? All these pieces seem to look so similar to each other.

 

Daniel has not been here in almost 6 years. I would not expect an answer to your question, sunday.

 

Oh , but the answer is easy...........

years of experience ....building a trained eye ....mulling over thousands of sites, auctions, catalogs....going to museums...handling authentic works....& time....lots of dedicated time !!

That's how !!

 

oK but how can I start doing that? Are there any good books? I joined the Gotheborg site but havent got much use out of it..

 

the potties will know what books.....all i can suggest 4 now...is to hunt down auction catalogs that have specific sales for this type of item....
While the prices asked...are not the sold ones.....they usually have decent written descriptions that will help you pick up tips to what you see ...........

 

like the one they did for the Mottahedeh lady when she passed? I was just reading about that.

 

Everybody's looking for that Han dynasty bowl that's being used to feed the dog.

 

You could study some of the listings of marks on the Gotheborg site. Even if you have no use for them right now. Just a thought; it's something I would do if interested.
