Honestly, unsure whether this is a real antique from the Ming Dynasty. Did a thorough scan of the mark and found it on many vintage, some antique, and even reproduction listings. The top two marks mean “Go Big” or “Qian Da” and the bottom two means “Takakiyo” or “Longqing” depending if you’re reading it as Japanese Kanji (Go Big Takakiyo) or traditional Chinese (Qian Da Longqing); however, when checking against reputable listing of recognized Ming marks along with latter dynasties, found nothing. I did not research Japanese blue&white antique/vintage sources after finding so many listings of this mark as Chinese antiquity.


No cracks, chips, or stains. Did find three pit marks which are noticeable in the two of the photos, so please check the attached pictures thoroughly.


The blue is very intense and the “white” portion is more gray-blue than white. The dish edge is scalloped.


Looking forward to hearing from you!
