Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The iron-brown rim is a typical feature of the late Ming period and the incised decoration is similar to that of BM 1984.0202.51, which also dates to the period 1628-44. Apocryphal Jiajing reign marks of the late Ming period are much larger proportionately to the base than the genuine sixteenth-century marks.
