Help identifying possible Plum Blossom Design Ming Dynasty Bowl
« on: September 15, 2012, 06:49:21 pm »
Here is another bowl I found at an estate sale today that I could use some help identifying. So far it looks like the design on the side is a Plum Blossom Design from the Ming Dynasty. I think the other side says "May you live as long as the Southern Mountains and be as happy as the Eastern Sea". I do not have a concrete idea on the mark on the bottom though or what this bowl may be worth. Any help will be appreciated.

Here is a link to high resolution pics:
