Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an early 21st century chinese sweetmeat set, porcelain with artificial craquelure, offset transfer printed, patinated with a mixture of tar and gasoline to make it look old. The four character Kangxi mark is transfer printed. These sets are made to deceive, and viewed from a western point of view have to be regarded as fakes. I assume you can buy this set for 5-15 US $ directly from a chinese supplier online today. Try to return it to the seller. To save money you might consider to ask us before your next purchase.
