Found this tiny porcelain salt box in an abandoned storage unit. It looks like an imperfect/second. Production dents all over it and the paint is seriously meh. The top imagery isn’t even complete. And the lid sure doesn’t fit. The enamel hasn’t been scratched off as I can’t scratch off any more. What’s the deal with this little box?? Age? Why is it so meh??
New to the world of Chinese porcelain! I saw these beauties for sales at a thrift store and they seemed really special to me. Any information is appreciated.
Pair of beautiful decorated Chinese blue and white dragon vases with underglazed 6 character marks of Guangxu period (1875-1908) and of the period. Executed in the Kangxi style.
25.4cm high each in excellant condition.
Provenance: Artvisory Gallery.
Random lid from a second hand porcelain shop in Suzhou. I was wondering if any of you knows why the top would be so red and sandy. Does it mean it used to be painted in red?
Can someone help me understand the history of these? from my research, I believe it’s stamped Qianlong but the style is Japanese Imari?
Hi I saw in a Chinese tea shop selling this Gaiwan & need help identifying whether it's Qing dynasty based on its look & seal.

Hi, can anyone help me me identify this funny little guy? I’m totally ignorant about these so appreciate any help!!
Thanks!
I previously posted about my kraakware punch bowl that I bought at auction. It was catalogued oniy as blue and white Chinese bowl.
After I picked it up I noticed it was etched and a little dull, and I wondered if it could be from the Hatcher cargo. I reached out to Christie’s twice - but no response. Also other “free appraisal” places - no response.
Finally found a local to me appraiser who forwarded photos to a former museum curator. He not only recognized the bowl, but found the exact lot and date from the -1984 auction. So OMG I HAVE A HATCHER CARGO PUNCH BOWL! I’m taking it to be appraised next. I’m so excited!
Wondering what style of porcelain this is and if an age can be determined
Thrifted this for $5 today. Wondering if anyone has information on it and how I would tell if it is a Chinese Famille Rose lamp. Thank you.
整個器皿以蜿蜒的牡丹紋路手工雕刻而成。深邃而有力的雕刻線條與圓潤的花朵形狀代表了耀州窯標誌性的裝飾風格。包邊的領口以直立的菊花瓣圖案裝飾作為邊界飾品。表面覆蓋著橄欖青釉，釉面因長時間的老化而形成自然的細小裂紋。底部為未打磨的沙質基底，帶有自然土壤滲透及地下埋藏的鐵鏽痕跡。粗糙的底足修整是晉朝民窯瓷器的一個顯著特徵。

Tenho este cachepô grande de porcelana chinesa, no formato de
fish bowl (vaso-aquário), e estou tentando descobrir a idade dele.
Prefiro descrever com precisão a chutar.
MEDIDAS
- Diâmetro externo, na aba: 56 cm
- Diâmetro da boca: 51 cm
- Altura: 40 cm
- Peso: 24 kg
- Sem furo de drenagem
DECORAÇÃO
- Externa: peônias em esmaltes policromados sobre fundo branco,
borda dourada
- Interna: peixes dourados pintados sobre o fundo branco
- Inscrição no corpo: 五彩富貴圖
- Selo vermelho em escrita de selo ao lado da inscrição
- Selo vermelho carimbado com 景德鎮製 na aba
O QUE EU IMAGINO ATÉ AQUI (me corrijam)
- O selo 景德鎮製 parece carimbado, não pintado à mão
- A decoração vem intitulada no corpo, o que entendi ser convenção
moderna
- Os peixes internos têm o que parece ser trama de meio-tom,
sugerindo decalque
- As peônias externas parecem contorno impresso com esmalte
aplicado à mão
Isso me levou a supor produção de fábrica em Jingdezhen entre os
anos 70 e 90, mas quero saber se estou errado.
PERGUNTAS
O estilo do selo ajuda a fechar a faixa de datação?
A decoração externa é pintada à mão, decalque ou mista?
Tem algo aqui que indique ser melhor que peça decorativa
comum de fábrica?
ESTADO
Sem trincas, sem lascas, sem restauro. A borda dourada está gasta
em trechos e há manchas de calcário no interior, de anos de uso
como cachepô.
Posso acrescentar mais fotos se algo específico ajudar.
