Title: Help With Mark On Roof Tile
Post by: kardinalisimo on Mar 25, 2015, 11:07:38
Don't know if this is recent or has some age but curious what does the mark read, translation and in Chinese characters.
The last character is not very clear so here is the same mark on different tile. www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8587810
Thanks

That is contemporary Taiwanese.

(Note: Koji is the Japanese reading)

Thanks for the link.
So, is that what the mark read, KOJI?

I said the 'reading' of the pottery name in the website is Japanese (not Chinese) because it is basically on a Chinese language website.

Hi Kardinalisimo, I have a statue with the same mark, even though these are contemporary the artist is very good and well known, its items like these done by famous artist that will appreciate faster over time.
