rare copper red and blue and white Ming mark

what people think of this rare plate

 

I think the mark is an honorific and the "plate" was not made in the Ming period.

 

Dripping with charm, though, @manny

 

Using the Xuande mark from 1426-35.

 

I don't know what you mean using the Xuande mark can you be more specific?

 

Why do you think that? is it because it's very expensive if it is from the period? even if it's from letter period still it is very expensive. so I guess you think its made last week right? Sure it's not easy to produce a copper red and blue and white together

 

A real Xuande plate should be in a museum. If you think this is from the 1400s, please take it to an Asian expert. It sounds like you have decided already and want confirmation, which we aren't qualified to give. As Bakers said, many Chinese marks are honorific or apocryphal, not meant to deceive anyone but to pay tribute.

 

Perhaps Manny doesn't realize that the various Chinese dynasties are broken down for marking purposes into "reign" periods coinciding with and named for the numerous "emperors" who ruled during each dynasty - Xuande being the emperor during the 9 years of the time frame you gave, Janet.

 

Well I happen to deal in Chinese art so I know a bit about Chinese history

 

Forgive me, Manny. Your post "I don't know what you mean using the Xuande mark can you be more specific" obviously led me astray.

 

I totally misinterpreted "What people think of this rare plate." We think it's very pretty.
