Subject:Hallmark on Miniature gold & cloisonne snuff bottle
Posted By: Michael Perez Thu, Nov 19, 2015 IP: 96.248.109.107
Can someone help me to understand what is the meaning of the hallmark that I found on the bottom of the bottle.
I enclose a photo.
Thanks, Michael

Subject:Jing Tai Lan - 景泰蓝 - Chinese phrase for cloisonne

I have a number of these cute little bottles, a couple of which were strung into bead necklaces.
Some have wire loops in the holes either side of the neck.
They seem to date from around the 70s, give or take a decade either way.

Thank you for your info. I added more photos. I inspected the base with acid and it was positive for 18K. (not plated).
Are yours also solid gold? Michael.

Unless one files down to the underlying metal, surface testing can be deceptive.

Filing, of course, leaves a spot of damage, as does the acid.
