Imari Cat Information Sought

[hddennis]

Just acquired this today and wonder what I can learn about it as far as age, who signed it and is it Imari as it was labeled? It measures 5 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches high

 

Thank You, 

grateful for any help you can give me,

Howard Dennis

Howard, this seems to be Chinese, Ming or Qing. 雄玩珍蔵

I searched around and found a Japanese site (from a TV show that appraised people's knicknacks...sort of like Antiques Roadshow), that echos Piers' comment above; that this mark may be from Qing dynasty (end of 1700s).

 

But, these porcelian treasures are faked as often, or more, than Japanese swords... so proceed with caution.
