Too good for your keys I would submit.

Edo period. Japanese.

Good size too. Highly collectable with the Qilin.

Hi Tim -

Not really my area but concur with Jeremy and Julia, certainly not Chinese but Japanese …

The central ‘Qilin, plantain, rock/plants’ design copies a well known very late Ming/early Qing composition, so mid 17th century …

I agree with Jeremy: Japanese and not for Chinese Market. I have similarly shaped one, but different decoration, some restoration and mine is Meiji at the earliest.

Here is a similarly marked bowl in the Shibata Collection dated 1750-70.

Definitely Japanese, I don't really think for the Chinese market, just imitating a Kangxi-like mark.  Gorgeous, probably first half to middle of the 18th century.  If you do put it on ebay, let me know, I will buy it, this is really what I love the most recently.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I’ve been using it to put my keys and change whenI come home.

I bought it among a lot of discount ‘Imari’  plates that the seller didn’t think had too much value.

Anyway…. I don’t really know anything about this type of porcelain, but I have read a few of our members posts referencing ok-sometsuke.

What do you think? Worth putting up on Ebay for a few hundred dollars?
