Re: Chinese porcelain Tile Help (Newly Found) |
Posted By: Bill H Posted Date: Nov 09, 2013 (05:29 PM) |
Message These are all dated 1904 (甲辰 - cyclical Jiachen year) and signed "Wang Youtang (汪友棠). Following is an abridged translation from the authoritative Chinese website chinabogu.com: "Wang Youtang, year of birth unknown, nickname Wang Di (汪棣), style name Liu Cun (柳村). Native of Yi County, Anhui Province. Studio name 'Pavilion for Cultivating Bamboo' (修竹軒 - Xiu Zhu Xian). Judging from surviving works, his most creative period came from the Guangxu reign through early Republic era, when he was a prolific producer of painted porcelains, including a broad swath through figural, landscape and floral & bird motifs, leaving behind a wealth of work for succeeding generations." In the last couple of years, Wang Youtang's porcelain tiles and plaques have fetched hammer prices of US$950 to $9000, according to information in the archives of liveauctioneers.com.
