Dear I.Nagy and other members

Would you like plz help me by reading this seal mark of an artist. What the seal say and meaning. Thank you very much in advance for your kind help.

順治年製　-　Made during the Shunzi reign

Shunzi (title of reign 1644-1661) of Aisin-Gioro Fulin, the 1st emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

With regards,
I.Nagy

ShunZhi 順治 was the first Qing dynasty emperor, nian zhi 年製 means "made in the year of".

However, whatever this is, it wasn't "made in the year of ShunZhi". That mark looks like it has been cut with a computer driven router.

But as you haven't the courtesy to show us the object, but have selfishly asked for a free translation service, none can comment further.

This mark reads down and across from the top right as "Made during the Shunzhi Reign", (Shunzhi Nian Zhi - 順治年制). This reign is the first listed for the Qing Dynasty in Gerald Davison's 'New and Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics'. Don't rely on whatever it belongs to being of the period.

Thank you so much I.Nagy, Mikeoz and Bill for your reading and help. Highly appreciated.
