Hi Songwriter, I believe this mark, not considering the double ring, is Da Qing Guangxu Nian Zhi - (Guangxu period (1875-1908) made). However, the six character mark is more typical of second quarter to late 20th century. If you will replace the image with a sharper one, I can probably tell for sure. The double ring may provide for closer dating (or not). Regards, ...Jim
good to c you back thats very nice
Jim
Thank you very much- I will add a couplf of photos of the markings in a bit :)
Heyy Lundyyyyyy

Jim
I added another picture of the markings

Hi, I believe Guangxu is correct. Go here:

Then scroll almost to the bottom, to the Pair Of Incised Yellow-Ground Green"Dragon" Bowls, Guangxu Mark And Period. Click on the picture to enlarge and compare the mark with yours. Let me know what you think,
thanks, ...Jim
Jim
Thank you :) Yes I went to the site and it does look like it , I also added another picture of the markings- this one looks alot better- So do you think this could be a earlier piece or late 2oth century-? someone was telling me because the vase has so many flaws that is probably a fake - in whick they are always tellingme that- I still hope for the best- although I feel they jinx me . anyway - what do you think about the double red rings? is this unusual? I mean I haven't found one yet like this....
and the one who told me it was fake is not an appraiser
I want to explain why (my husband says it is fake?)
#1 - It has alot of flaws
#2 no signs of ware or age
#3 no attention being paid to the detail
#4 There are too many variations to the markings
#5 And the red paint was applied sloppy
so I say what evaaa
Correction) was applied sloppily
Very sharp jpg this time, it is a Guangxu period mark. This may also be seen spelled Kuang Hsi. If you will send an email to my user name above at aol.com, I will return more material on this period, more than I want to try to load on this site.
thank you yes I will
I only see Hsu not Hsi when i google it
Hsu is correct, not Hsi
i sent the e-mail
Hi, didn't come through, address is jwendell222@aol.com if you want to try again.
I sent the email again

Let me know. Best wishes, Jim

Hi Songwriter, I have no recollection of what I had found when I wrote Comment #20. Sorry 'bout that, Jim
