Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Thanks so much I.Nagy.

I appreciate you!

I suspect this is a later copy, 19th or early 20th century perhaps.

Dear Mr. Nagy,
could you suggest a webside where to find easily a table to compare the chinese cyclical calender to the western one?

Dear Peter,
Re your question.
At the end of every serious book on Chinese and Japanese art there is a table of Sexagenary Stems and Earthly Branches covering at least the last 1000 years.
Nowadays, the simplest search method is to enter the respective Chinese characters e.g., 癸酉 into the Google search engine, which will display the relevant years from AD1 to AD3000. This is a Japanese language web site.

With regards,
I.Nagy

this one takes a little getting used to but is quite handy. it's a screengrab from some reference source or other, maybe Gerald Davison's "Marks on Chinese Ceramics", so consider it plagiarized

Thank you for the helpful reply. Stored the table for future use.

best wishes
