Posted By: Bill H Mon, May 11, 2015 Your spoon is a contemporary product, probably from one of the porcelain ornamentation factories in Hong Kong or Macao. The mark is applied by decal or stamp, so is just another aspect of the transfer decoration, which process wasn't used in the Chinese porcelain industry on a commercial scale until the early 20th century.

Posted By: Bill H Wed, May 13, 2015 When I termed the spoon a 'contemporary' product, I meant to say it was made at least in my own time on earth. Though I can avow to being born well before yesterday, and while I think the term fits the age of most members in this forum, my desire to shun further presumption makes me think it best for others to define 'contemporary' by their own yardstick. :)
