Any experts on marks please help??? Have this little dish with (really funny looking horses painted on it) ... I photographed the red mark on the bottom, but I don't know if I have it upside-down, sideways, or just right? ... if someone could help let me know what this is exactly and what era it was 'born'? I would realllllly appreciate it. ...

it is a chinese repro,no one will paint ugly horses like that.
the date is a certain emperor of Qing dynasty,but it is made in 20th century.

stopwhining: Xu Beihong who lived from 1895 to 1953 painted 6 ugly horses ( painting called Galloping Horses) and it brought $3,325,000 Hong Kong dollars at auction. Widely copied and very popular. I even hung a large silk screened copy over my living room couch.
