ERoLaren Posted August 29, 2018 at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 at 10:30 PM Hello, I have several ceramic pieces with what appear to be Chinese characters on them. If these are Chinese characters, can someone translate them for me? Thank you! V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERoLaren Posted August 31, 2018 at 06:56 PM Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 at 06:56 PM I noticed there is flash glare in some of the photos. Let me know if it's too difficult to translate because of that, and I'll retake the photos. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted August 31, 2018 at 07:14 PM Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 at 07:14 PM Photo 1: 乾隆年制 Made during the reign of emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty. (This does not necessarily mean it was actually made during that time.) Photo 3: 中国景德镇 [Made in] the city of Jingdezhen in China. (A place traditionally famous for its pottery. In this case, odds that it was really made there are a bit higher.) The other two photos are also of Chinese writing, but it's seal script, which I am not very good at reading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERoLaren Posted August 31, 2018 at 08:09 PM Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 at 08:09 PM Hi Lu, I found this when researching the other two marks. It matches photo #4 (when flipped upside down). Thought I'd post in case you were curious. Thanks again for translating 1 & 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted September 1, 2018 at 07:27 AM Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 at 07:27 AM Good searching! In that case, number 4 also says 'Made during the reign of emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
