Subject:Pretty weird seal mark - marked Qianlong - but is it fake?
Posted By: Ross Tue, Jul 29, 2014 IP: 95.166.218.193
Hi all
My brother has a vase that he claims is chinese authentic from the Qianlong period. I am not so sure, I can not find any other seal marks painted this way. I can make out the words "Da Qing Qian Long *something* Zhi". I can't read the 5th word.
All marks I have seen have been in a simple handpainted stroke, not this traced/outlined style.
So can anyone help us find out if this is a repro or an original - and why is the mark painted with traced letters? Also what does the 5th letter say?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
