Subject:Gilt decorated blue ground bottle vase, Guangxu six-character mark and of the period (1875-1908)
Posted By: Matti Fri, Apr 04, 2014 IP: 83.254.43.2

I had the opportunity to purchase this totally cracked Guangxu (mark and period?) bottle vase 39.8 cm and would appreciate the help with being able to translate those two characters that are in the shou symbol.


Regards Matti

Not two characters - just one Fu 福 - 'happiness'

I believe that would be the single character "Fu" (褔 - Blessings), comprised of the radical "Shi" (示 - An omen) and "Fu" (畐 - To fill).

Best regards,

Bill H.
