Subject:Identifiyng Porcelain Mark and Bone Carving
Posted By: Edu Fri, Sep 18, 2015 IP: 72.226.16.80
1. Can you help to identify the mark on the porcelaian bowl? Any idea when was it made?

2. The whale bone carving seems to be from an oriental country but people who know about Japanese art tell me it is not from Japan.Any idea where it comes from?

the bone carving could very well be plant ivory.. or also called Tagua nut carving.

Your Chinese bowl with a famille rose motif of four-seasons flowers and an iron-red Buddhistic mark of the endless knot probably dates to the second half of the 19th century or somewhat later.

Best regards,

Bill H, can you explain your description of the bowl as "famille-rose"?

I see a manganese-purple and iron-red in the uploaded photos, but not colloidal-gold rose-pink enamels. I realize that color tones can vary a lot in appearance from monitor to monitor.

Attached for comparison is part of a famille-rose bowl with Yongzheng mark, now in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
