Subject:Chinese Bowl - 6 charachter mark
Posted By: Anthony PvR Thu, Nov 12, 2015 IP: 24.155.238.229
Hi Everyone, I have a new bowl with a 6 character mark that I do not recognize as a reign mark. Any help reading/translating would be appreciated. Not very sure of the age of the piece. I believe it to be late Ming or transitional Qing. There are clear chatter marks on the base and many rims frits. This bowl came from a Japanese dealer and had spent most of it existence in Japan. One side has a very old fill "kintsugi" with gold (not pictured). The large mark on the inside of the bottom rim is an original firing flaw. Any thoughts from anyone?
Sincerest thanks,
Anthony PvR

The first two characters appear to be:

"積慶" (traditional), or "积庆" (simplified).

My guess? Possibly a location "积庆里" in Tianjin, China.
