Hello Porcelain Fans!
May I please ask if there is anyone out there who can translate of a 3 character inscription on the back of my porcelain dish? It is incised in the clay. Appears to be Chinese characters.
Thanks all!
I have never seen marks like these they are not in my book of marks for Chinese.
Could be Weisan zuo (made by Weisan), but the first character for Wei seems to be incorrect.
Characters written in a sloppy manner like this almost always means that they were done in modern times.
If you look closely at the characters, you will see that they were carved with a rotary (electric) carving tool. The carving tools used in more ancient times leave different traces.
Great work Peter and Stan . . . thanks so much.
