Pair of yellow glazed bowls
Both with blue 6 letter base marks Ming Dynasty Chenghua Era Marks, in Blue
Slightly different dimensions 1 being 5 1/2 x 2 5/8 inches the smaller 51/2 x 2 1/4 inches
Incised design of dragons and centaur
An hua hidden decoration of dragons, centaur and Phoenix ‘nei fei’ words within the hidden symbols , ‘nei fei’ marks, I believe mean Inner Court’ (shown with light behind)
I do like these pieces in my collection
But ....................... are they genuine or fake ?????
My fellow collectors, what do you think, I would appreciate your comments
Thank you
all two character nei fei are late in blue de hue
and all two characters nei fei in yellow grands are extremely late
there ise almost no yellow ground Chengua period ( the most are Hongzhi with an H!)
there is a flood coming on yellow grounds in nowadays ( Hongzhi en Chengua)
i think also the Chengua mark is badly made
probably this is late 20century
Apostata, thank you for your enlightening comments
i am on it again with a whole team ! , because its getting from fake to inconclusive , but i have to run hundreds , ( maybe thousands ) and there are hundreds of fakes
so this will will take some time, i need hongkong for this
Apostata I can’t thank you enough for your diligence
update , eyesight is too bad i am making copies of the NEI FU for a vietnamese dealer, i always triple check , because i make many mistakes, can,t see well enough
well i tried its hard to get information and the stakes are high, only a former expert from the former Ichiban auction thought it was real and some interns from minor auction houses , and the rest did,not trust it
personally i think its a fake, there is not much fade out and not much contrast , but i am far from skilled in this
but even a total fake will do at least 75 dollar a bowl, and certainly a yellow one
