No.2 - Cries for Help

Number 2

A larger pot. This had been made into a lamp but I have managed to take the metal part out without damaging the pot.

Does anyone know what the mark on the base is?

[peterp]

19th century, I think.

[johnno42000]

Hi Peter, many thanks. Does the mark actually mean anything?

[peterp]

It means 'middle, center', is also the first character for China. Could also mean the size, but a single character is not telling anything, really.

Thanks for the information. I can barely read English let alone Chinese :-)
