Chinese copper red dish, with rare Qianlong kaishu script six-character mark and of the period (1736-1795), with shallow rounded sides and everted rim, the interior and the sides covered in a deep ruby red glaze. Diameter 18 cm. The kaishu script mark possibly indicates that this dish was made in the first two years of the reign, before the mark was standardized. See Allen?s Authentication of Later Chinese Porcelain, p. 186. This dish is illustrated in ibid., p. 186-187, fig. 105.1 and 2. Provenance: Tony Allen?s Antiques, circa 1995; Dr. John A. and Louise Gray 'Mark and Period' Collection.

- Everted - An everted rim is an outwardly turning or flaring outwards rim, as seen the rims on jugs, vases, bowls and dishes.
- Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
