Posted By: Bill H Fri, Oct 18, 2013 The mark may be read as "Precious Collection of Elegant Trinkets" (é çİçè - Ya Wan Zhen Cang). A character search on the web found the mark in use on a variety of porcelains being sold and discussed on Mainland China websites. Some references made what I consider to be the dubious claim that the porcelain bearing the mark was Republic-period. The mark doesn't appear in either the 2010 "New and Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics" by Gerald Davison or its 2013 reprinted edition with updates. |
