I may have been wrong on this one..

I was pretty sure when purchased that this one would date late 19th, early 20th..

Now, after attempting to flip it on eBay, not so sure due to the lack of interest.. So, am happily keeping it..

Hi George,

I agree with you at the date, this kind of painting is very common for late qing ware, I have seen it on other ware. careless, but very fluent, I should be from a very skilled hand. Both the Carelessness and fluence are because the craftsman have to paint quite lot on daily base to reduce cost of each ware.
