Production notes
The Jiajing mark is well written and the base comes to a point both of which could pass for Ming; The shallow shape and the grapes pendant from the rim (so a feature of the Tianqi period) however suggest a Transitional date; the Jiajing mark was also a favourite of the mid 17th century and I believe they date to that period.BSM.
