Does anyone know what the stamp on the base says?
Thank you!

This is a contemporary, possibly Hong Kong transfer-decorated Chinese product. It bears a mark of "Yi Qian Tang Long Nian Zhi" (義謙堂龍年製), meaning "Made in the year of the Dragon for the Hall of Righteous Modesty (or humility)". Gotheborg.com carries this mark as "1980s" and perhaps decorated in Hong Kong either by the Overjoy or Ah Chou Painting Factory owned by relatives who are known to specialize in decorating Chinese porcelain blanks. Such items have popped up in the forum previously.

Best regards,

Bill H.
