Subject:Republic era flowers panel - what does the seal say?
Posted By: Seb Fri, Nov 08, 2019 IP: 81.2.83.94 This panel is 25cm x 38cm and is beautifully painted with mushrooms, flowers, etc. I assume it is republic era but cannot decipher the seal. Can anyone help? |

Posted By: rat Fri, Nov 08, 2019 Looks nice. It's a Jurentang mark, which was applied to varied enameled items in the Republic period and originates in brief period in 1915 or so. Naturally there are also modern fakes that reproduce the mark. For more information see: http://gotheborg.com/glossary/jurentang.shtml |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Nov 08, 2019 The mark reads "Jurentang zhi" (居仁堂製), "Made for the Hall where Benevolence Resides". The style of the mark on your plaque is quite similar to others associated with the short, 80-day reign of the Hongxian Emperor between 1915-1916. Hongxian was the non-dynastic Imperial reign title taken by Republic of China general and statesman Yuan Shikai after the Chinese National Assembly petititioned him on 11 December 1915. The Jurentang was his official residence (see wikipedia.org for more detailed information). |

Posted By: Seb Sat, Nov 09, 2019 It's quite securely mounted to a board - but in this picture, you can see the edge. |

Posted By: Oliver Tue, Nov 12, 2019 Hi I think your plaque is very nice though from my experience (and I helped Tony Allen with his work)I do not know of any plaques which were genuine Hongxian pieces,The two examples also shown would at best be 1930's,the quality is nowhere near as good as your plaque and the second piece is hideous (which cannot be said of any Hongxian pieces) thus I would date your plaque as very close to 1916.I have owned one genuine piece which came from under a house in Dunedin.I sold it to Tony who got 2700 pounds for it.He believed it was one of the pieces Yuan Shi Kai gave to his generals.The quality was superb and comparable to your plaque |
