Dear Tom,
   A mark can be genuine in that it is from the same time as it says (for Yongzheng, 1723-1735), but not a genuine Imperial mark (A); or it can be both genuine to the period AND genuine to the Imperial Porcelain Works (B).
   I understood from the late Robert Kleiner that there were only 2 or 3 calligraphers inscribing genuine Imperial marks at the Works during the Yongzheng reign, while there would have been an awful lot of regular calligraphers working on non-Imperial wares during that reign.
  Is the mark shown as genuine, A or B?
Best,
 Joey
