Re: Need help Identifying Vase Marks

This mark came up back in January (Link below), when after all was said and done, I believe Super had put it all together correctly as "Yong Sheng Cai Ci Chang" (永勝彩瓷廠), the "Yongsheng (Eternal Victory) Ornamented Porcelain Factory" (my revised translation).

Super also turned up that the factory has Hong Kong and Mainland China addresses. I checked and see it is listed in the Hong Kong Yellow Pages as being in the Hong Kong Industrial Building, off Des Voeux Road West in the Kennedy Town section of Hong Kong. This factory also has been the subject of discussion on some Mainland websites, one of which claims it dates back to the Republic Period, something I didn't try to verify, though I have read that more than one porcelain factory left the Mainland for Hong Kong and Macao after the Japanese invasion of China in 1936.

I looked at the standard characters using the etymology website, and their seal-writing equivalents appear to conform fairly well to what is showing in the mark. At least close enough for my weak eyes.

Best regards,

Bill H.
