I'd love to know whether this is real Kangxi or Kangxi Revival. I don't think i have any Kangxi pieces to compare them to. This is really weird, but i won these on an ebay auction, but it's not showing up at all as a purchase on my ebay 'purchased' list. it's completely disappeared. I don't get it...
i got an ethical problem here , let,s call it Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas
there are some problems here with this double circle ware without symbols
they made this ware with only the circles during the Kangxi period before the use of the Kangxi reignmark was allowed. for the period because they often used alternatives like Chenqua marks, shopmarks and symbols twin fish endloss knot sacred fungus , fungus etc.. All in one; a jar with a double circle can certainly be of the Kangxi period.
this is not kangxi
there is no mineral glaring on the bottom ( the so called rotten straw sedimentation), the mark maybe yu (jade yuan to qing is strange ?? and no kiln pits etc , interior of the bowl is too snow white
and the fluidum of the circle is absent they are completely congruent and of form and tonality (transfer ware)
and the mark is off centered which actually is a major sin in any real time period it wont make the cut
the next possiblity is the so called xangxi revival let,s , it coincide with the guanghu period for discussion sake
in theory it is possible , but they rubbed the sedimentation and they overdone it , the bowls got dispersion which probably endorses transfer ware
and actually i wonder if it meets decent xangxi revival standards , so even later than that period is quite likely
i am sorry

thanks Waki.
i've found out since that these were made in the Netherlands around 1900 in Kangxi style.
Mosa porcelain from Maastricht or Petrus Regout, so we both did a good job , so we both are right, excellent team effort Pete
