Message Bill Good show! I like your explanation a lot better than mine. On Taiwan, Chinese is written from left to right, and I considered whether the mark, as I'd read it, might indicate a Taiwan product. However, I've spent enough time living and working around the island to believe that even the worst kiln there should be capable of making a more convincing copy of a European vase than this one. Now I wonder if this piece might have been made in Thailand or Indonesia, where not all kiln workers are able to read Chinese, thus errors like this one are more likely to occur. Regards, Bill H.
