Subject:Characters stamped in blue cloisonne enamel
Posted By: beadiste Tue, Jun 09, 2015 IP: 206.174.69.67

This is stamped into the base of what appears to be a 70s-80s vase. But what does it say?
Is it the name of the workshop?

I think I recognize "yi" but otherwise am clueless.

The interesting character at the upper right still has me stumped, however.

Reminiscent of the previously discussed 60s-70s seal Gu Yi Zhai Cang?

Curiously, the sellers seem to think the pieces are Republic of China era.

Subject:Lots of examples available, some with PROC paper labels

So I did a trawl of eBay and various Chinese auction sites, and found many cylindrical fluted teapots with this seal, some with paper Peoples Republic of China paper labels still attached.
The enamel colors and motifs all point to what seem to be a post-1960s time frame.
Was this a workshop separate from Beijing Enamel Company (JingFa), under the umbrella of the arts and crafts export corporation?
