<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gckimm, post: 9607156, member: 83519&quot;]Hi:</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not an expert, but this looks to me to be a modern reproduction. In particular, the figures decorating the bowl lacks a more delicate quality that I would expect from something older.&nbsp; In addition, the colors look too bright and the porcelain itself does not appear to be very old. </p><p><br /></p><p>While modern pieces are routinely and innocently made with imperial marks as a way of saying that the design is in imitation of older styles, there are many modern pieces that are made with imperial marks as a way of deceiving buyers.&nbsp; I have seen a lot of fakes on eBay, for example.&nbsp; Because the leaf mark is not the usual seal or reign mark, this item could be one of these fakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
