This was listed at my local antiques group, wanted to know whether if it has the slightest chance of being genuine or not?

Are they too good to be Genuine?

Saw at an antique store and very intrigued! Can someone explain the meaning/background on the different patterns? I would love more information on this!

I’m new to collecting so have very little experience. This is a 10.75” dish up for auction. The auction house has it listed as Qing. It looks different than others I’ve seen because of all the white ground (imo) but the border is correct for Ming Wanli (VII.2) and the shape would make it earlier according to Maura Rinaldi’s book, and to me the brush strokes and dark cobalt look correct albeit neater - better - than looser and fast work. Is this a well executed Ming dish, or Qing?

My parents have had these for many decades. Do they appear to be authentic or reproduction?

This Chinese teacup was given to my late father in the late 60s / early 70s by a friend who told him at the time, that it was already an antique. Can anyone help with valuing it please? I did a reverse image search and found the same design that was claimed to be 19th century but the stamp was completely different and the finish was a lot smoother. This one seems older with the pockmarks and rougher glazing but I am no expert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, recently I got this set of 3 gaiwans second hand expecting them to be normally sized, in reality they are quite small, around 2 inches. I was hoping someone could tell me when they are from and if they are decorative or meant for usage (tea brewing). Thank you!

Found these little guys at a thrift store and was wondering if someone could help me identify any information on these (when they were made, type of clay used, why are they matte, character, etc.) if this isn’t a good sub to post this on let me know where I could post this! Thnx
