Hey all, I recently bought quite a few Chinese porcelain pieces from an estate collection and could use some help with reading the character marks. This is a very pretty bowl, I'm hoping its not a reproduction or newer copy. Can someone tell me what it says on the bottom? Thanks Peter and Stan! I have a few pieces in question, so I wasn't sure if it would be easier to make a new post topic for each one or combine them all into one post.
hi tipton444,
it's a nice bowl but i believe this is a japanese bowl with spurious Chinese mark.
Thanks again, do you know what the Chinese marks read?
Japanese Imari, with another Chenghua mark, 20th century
Thank you! :)
