Message Hi Bill H., thank you so much for your help with this item! I see what you mean re: the "smudge" to the mark on the bottom...and yes, I agree it is a modern piece...it would be too good to be true if it were really from 1796-1820...lol! I wonder who would have marked the bottom like that? And I see what you mean in the link you provided...the colors are very similar. In my limited experience, just by the vase's "character" (look & feel) for lack of a better word, I would date it mid-20th century. But wdik? And that mark on the bottom had me puzzled, but now I know it is useless to date this item as it is not truthful. And doesn't help determine who made it, I had assumed Chinese because of the bottom mark. As you said, maybe someone else has come across this mark on another item and will have some input. Thanks again so much for taking the time to help! Caroline Anne :) Post a Response |
