The same as with the plate applies with this. I think the item is Guangxu but the mark is apocryphal.

I had a question to whether or not this is actually from the Jiaqing dynasty. Any thoughts would be great. Thank you

Jiaqing plate
by: peter

I have this problem with such items too. I mean items that look as if they were from the late Qing dynasty but are marked Jiaqing.
In my view this should be Guangxu, even the tail of the dragon looks as if it were Guangxu and could hardly be early 19th century.

The majority of apocryphal marks I see on Guangxu period items are 18th century marks, not Jiaqing marks. This is troubling me a bit, actually.
I'm afraid I cannot tell for sure at this time why this is so. On my item it looks, as if the red mark is on top of the glaze (enamel), which is a bit odd. As if it was added later. Apart from the mark all looks typical Guangxu.
I need to research this...
