    Hello all,

    I wanted to check if this is from the Qing Dynasty. I saw a pair that sold for $40k on sotheby's auction. The markings on the one from ebay resembles the ones from sotheby's auction. Thank you.

    These are the ones I saw on sotheby's

    Right from the beginning do know I am not a Chinese porcelain marks expert by any stretch of the imagination. I can only identify a half dozen or so Chinese characters without looking them up. There are a couple of excellent Oriental porcelain marks gurus on the forum. I'm sure one of them will be along tomorrow if they are not away for Thanksgiving.

    Nowwww the Qing Dynasty stretched from 1644 to 1912!! There were at least a good half dozen Qing emperors and each of their reigns had slightly different markings. Also most of the porcelain out of China in the past 50 to 100 yrs have fake markings resembling different dynasties/emperors. Some call the fake markings honorary/auspious markings - in honor of a past period. Another thing, the color of the ink and style used is sometimes important on determining authenticity.

    Nowww with the above said. The Tongzhi (To Rule Together a State of Order) Emperor, ruled 1862-1874 - the 8th Qing emperor, marks are like on these. I believe the original were done in blue ink??? Following is a link to the Tongzhi Emperor marks. The page has the Qing Emperors with their porcelain markings.

    Again want to stress that I do not know if it is an authentic marking or a reproduction. I'm surprised Sotherby only said Qing Dynasty and didn't narrow down to the Qing Emperor. Please wait for others to chime in.
