Kangxi or Guangxu Mark?

by Dan

I have a Chinese porcelain ginger jar (with lid) with a double ring mark on the bottom. How can I determine whether or not the mark is from the Kangxi or Guangxu reign? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is Guangxu. Kangxi jars have a slightly different shape and decoration.

You can not. But the ginger jar is from the Guangxu period. Even if there were a mark from an earlier period it would still be Guangxu. The double ring was also frequently used on those jars.
