Re: Marks on Small Hexagonal Planter

The four character apocryphal base stamps can be read from the top right down and across (middle picture is best view) as "made during the Qianlong reign (Qianlong Nian Zhi). What looks like the numeral "48" on the bottom of one probably is a factory ID.

Everything in the inscription and faux imperial seals seen in the top photo is simply part of the decoration with no implications for identification, dating or artistic merit.

These items are late 20th century or subsequent decorative transfer ware of median export quality, which type of products often are made using Chinese porcelain blanks at factories in Hong Kong and Macao, among other locations in China.

Best regards,

Bill H.
