Hi, i have this Ming bowl on Ebay.
My dad bought it from a Swedish auction in the 80s, it was than listed as Wanli.
Any opinions on that dating or any inquiries at all would be appreciated.
Best of wishes from Norway,
Adrian
It can be seen on this link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273253229912?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
Hi Numismarts,
this bowl is really beautiful. I don't know too much about Ming but would say a Wanli dating is fine. All of you in the forum who always try to get a true Ming piece: this is your chance.
Birgit
Thanks you all for the kind and helpful words.
Is there anyone on this forum which have something similar?
I am completely new to this site, but i am very thankful for Mr Combs for applying hos knowledge and letting us chat and post our own objects.
I found out about hum on YouTube and I felt right away that he was a very sincery person. That is my general feeling of this community as well.
Best regards
Adrian
Xin: May I ask how you justify its period as mid-Ming? The vase does not carry with any red flint, though lots of crackles. Also most crackles do not have much dirt inside. -Jim

Because of the decoration and painting style. Inside the bowl there is a symbol from tibetian buddism. Very popular at mid-Ming. And the blue colour is a typical lifeless one, not bright (cheap material) used for this kind of ware.
Very different from wares of imperial court, different materials and quality.

I do agree with Xin that my bowl would not be of the quality found at home of The Emporor.
With that said I find the decoration charming and the colour is more soothing to the eye than what it mat appears on the photos.
I would be devasteted if it would be sold to cheaply. It would help somewhat if one of you guys here at the forum got it though.
Sincerely
Adrian
seems sold low. only $99
Yes, it was awful.. A Scandinavian guy bought it, that was The only cool thing about it.
I will post some more objects on Ebay, but feel somewhat discuraged..
Best regards
Adrian
i wanted to bid; but did not because of concerns of import tax and so on. i stay at usa. anybody has experience on it. i like ming b&w porcelain, but not much knowledge on it yet. i am more confident on jades and jadeites.
If import/tax had been 100% would it still be cheap though. ?
That said, it is smart to have some knowledge and buy with confidence.
I have no real knowledge on jade, i would not know what i real or not and what colour would be desirable.
Adrian
Someone got a great deal 🙂 but still 100 is not bad. Well done for selling it. It was not high quality and it had bad decay, yes it was old but you can buy a 2000 year old vase on ebay with the 100 dollars. Gordon Gekko (bidamount seller) is selling a beautiful vase from 200AD china. It was relisted after selling for £400 and is now at £79 so maybe place a bid on that.
Here it is, it ends in 6 hours, It did sell for £400 or perhaps higher and he relisted. I have no affiliation with this seller. Just potentially a very good purchase in place the bowl strictly in terms of age of the item.
Here is the last auction a few days ago. While i bid in the last auction i wont be bidding in this auction as i have already spent my monthly budget. I simply can't afford to win this. So it is very good value at the moment. I assume the final bidder pulled out of the last auction.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
