Subject:Qin Porcelain sold as marked during cultural revolution
Posted By: Sean Fordyce Tue, Nov 08, 2016 IP: 108.63.183.166 I bought these from a person who said she bought them in China in 1986 (There are three groups of these) This one has a character engraved into it. She was told this was during the cultural revolution to devalue or deface them. |

Posted By: Michael O Wed, Nov 09, 2016 That engraved character was meant to mark the owner of the dish where communal eating was common in the Chinese extended family or village. It is usually a character of the person's name or just a symbol. |
