Subject:Old Vase with immortals? Need help with marks
Posted By: Walt Sun, Feb 25, 2018 IP: 2001:569:bc15:8b00:3 Any help identifying the maker’s mark or the age/style/origin of the vase would be greatly appreciated.

Posted By: Martin Michels Wed, Feb 28, 2018 The frog looks more Chinese to me, no idea what the mark reads. The vase is Satsuma-like, the right part of the mark reads Dai Nippon 大日本, but the left part of the mark is too small and vague to me to decipher. Perhaps a sharp close-up picture can help. |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Mar 03, 2018 The frog bears the mark of a modern porcelain-ornamentation factory in Hong Kong that produces transfer-decorated wares. The mark reads down and across from the right as "Yi Qian Tang Long Nian Zhi" (義謙堂龍年製), meaning "Made in the year of the Dragon for the Hall of Righteous Modesty (or humility)". |
