Posted By: Daisy Fri, Jan 30, 2015 I think it reads "lu YeHing" and made in 1947. |

Posted By: Super Sat, Jan 31, 2015 Just curious, Daisy, how did you translate it as "lu YeHing" and how did you pin it down as being made in 1947? from just the first picture? |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Jan 31, 2015 After staring at length at the top seal, I believe its characters read down and across from the top right as 穎州廬氏 (Pinyin Ying Zhou Lu Shi). While Ying is a family name, I think it may pair up here to read "Yingzhou", a district at Fuyang in Anhui Province. "Lu" is a thatched hut, and "Shi" is a family or Clan. If I'm correct, the mark would translate humbly in English as "Family in a thatched hut at Yingzhou", otherwise "Family of Ying Zhoulu", with Zhoulu having what to me is a rather unusual meaning for a given name of "Thatched hut on a river islet". |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Feb 02, 2015 I'll go with your version, Super. You have what it takes to look at these things without incurring my kind of eyestrain. |

Posted By: Super Tue, Feb 03, 2015 Bill, only some time, these days I also have problems seeing anything without my bifocals and admit not as good as Mike oz in translating seal scripts. |

Posted By: Super Sat, Jan 31, 2015 First of all, the two additional pictures you posted were both inside out (mirror images). I wonder how that happened? |
