The 1st one is a blue & white saucer has a brown wax seal and a blue mark on the back with ownership pinholes on the front would like to know what they mean and a date if possible. The 2nd one is blue & white with a blue mark on the back, would like to know what it means and a date period if possible.

seal and markings
by: peter

It is difficult to tell what is what without proper colors. For example, it might be possible if the wax seal is fake from the color tone. But, for this type of item nobody would bother to make a fake one. This is a very common dish of about mid-Qing dynasty, mark unreadable. The ownership marking is the character for "become". Wax seals are not connected to the item itself, they tell customs that an item may be exported.
