[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1835702, member: 2844"]Cute box, but I'm with blooey and cluttered, fairly recent. It could not be less Kangxi if it tried. Dirt is generally a sign of an intentional fake, not even a replica. As cluttered pointed out, the way of painting and type of glaze is very different. Kangxi blue decorations merge with the glaze. Sloppy edges, and the 'Kangxi mark' is off centre. It has been said often before on Antiquers and elsewhere, most Chinese imperial marks are not of the period. So please, never base your time estimate on the presence of a certain mark, consider the other signs.[/QUOTE]
