Subject:Re: Mark on Porcelain Bowl
Posted By: Bill H Sun, Sep 22, 2019
The mark reads down and across from the right as "Fang Da Qing Kang Xi Nian", meaning the bowl is an "Imitation of the Great Qing Dynasty Kangxi Reign".
What's not right-side-up is a picture or two of the bowl itself. In that regard some of us, myself included, sit here bristling at the thought of others, yourself seemingly included, who take us to be a free translation service.
Not true, ma'am! We're here to learn something, just like you, and to be better equipped, along with you, to be able to spot the difference next time one of these bowls pops up.
We'd appreciate it greatly if you and all the remissive others out there, would help us achieve the principal goals of the forum by posting a full description, photos included, of the item presented for discussion
And yes, I'm ashamed to say, this is an attempt to shame all who may be guilty out there.
