Subject:small yellow jug with 4 characters and 6 characters (+ N?) to the base?
Posted By: RL Sat, Feb 02, 2019 IP: 2a00:23c0:a701:6801:

Could some one please tell me what these 6 characters and the N, on this little jug mean? As well as the 4 characters on the jug? The jug measures 11.5 cm or 4.5 inches tall.
I appreciate it is not all that old, but has quite a lot of nice detail, looks hand painted is marked and I have not seen one before. ( not that this means anything!

Any reply or explanation is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Richard

6 characters: Zhongguo Jingdezhen Zhi (China Jingdezhen made). The N is probably a factory mark.
The 4 character on the item itself are: Wan Shou Wu Jiang.
Date: 2nd part of the 20th C.

Hi Michael, thank you for the reply and pointing me in the right direction, much appreciated.
I subscribed for a year to the Gothenburg website but let the subscription lapse. After reading your post, I will renew my Gothenburg subscription and try and visit the site a bit more often!
Again your time to reply is appreciated.
Kind Regards Richard
