Hello,
please, could you help me identify these vases? There are a lot of signes of age, but I am not sure about the period and I would like to know, if it's possible, something about the writing/poems.
Thank you in advance,
Simonne

Hi Peter, the mark looks like it was stamped and not hand signed, when did they start stamping the marks on porcelain?

As far as I know large scale use of stamped marks started in the Tongzhi reign. Most Tongzhi marks from private kilns I have seen are red, stamped marks.
However, individual marks were stamped with seals at least as early as the Qianlong dynasty, as far as I know. Then they were probably only few.

Thanks for explaining that, I thought stamped marks were from the later periods.
