Re: Chinese studio mark ricegrain 3 friends bowl - please help

The mark, shown upside down here, reads down in three characters as 'Yan Jing Zhai' (Studio of Refined Inkstones'. I found nothing on this mark in the Gerald Davison book of Chinese ceramic markings, and came up empty-handed in the porcelain context searching by characters on Google as well.

The motif is the very popular 'Three Friends of Winter', consisting of pine, flowering plum and bamboo, with a lingzhi mushroom of immortality thrown in for good measure. It may be the lighting but the green comes across as sort of 20th century in tone.

Best regards,

Bill H.
