Subject:Would you read this as Chinese or Korean?
Posted By: Y. E. Wong Thu, Apr 18, 2013 IP: 71.58.19.70
Need some critical eyes to decide if I should read this mark as Chinese or as Korean. The mark appears to read "星吉" [xing ji], but it may be similar to some Korean characters.

This mark came from a blue white rice bowl. Thanks in advance.

My apology. Please ignore my request. I now think the mark is not Asian text, but English, read side ways as "China"...

Are you sure it is not CHINA, which should date it after 1891?

Tony

Rotated 90 degrees to the right, it almost looks like somebody was trying to spell "CHINA". Otherwise doesn't immediately make sense.

Best Regards,

Bill H.

Tony & Bill,

Thank you both... Glad that I can rely on you guys, even when I'm so "tuned-in" with Asian characters.
