Hi Laetriuse! Welcome.

Hopefully someone will come along soon who might be able to help you.

 

Thanks me too.

 

Heres whats got me hesitant...that overall staining on the bottom really makes me think newer Chinese.

 

Yes I definitely understand. It’s hard to find multiple examples from different angles of this type of pottery, for me to come up with a definitive answer on my own. I definitely appreciate your input.

 

I also think it's recent.
At Goodwills in my area you'll hardly find any pottery, glass or whatever priced more than $20.
Here's my copper red bowl that I bought today. Probably recent too.

 

It looks like the mark might continue under the felt pad. Have you removed it to see if there is anything there?

 

Oh and welcome!

 

I don't know much about Chinese pottery, but they both look newer to me.

 

It's not easy to date monochrome glazes. A 300 years old copper red piece will look almost as new. Other details can give better clue, like shape, foot rims, bases, paste, glaze pooling, etc.

 

Regarding the OP's piece, I agree with SIS. Carefully remove the pad which seems to be covering the signature, and find someone who can read it.

(Kard, may be better to start a separate thread on yours, so the responses don't get confused.)

I would recommend continued research the OP's piece, starting with a translation of the signature. Seems like most newer inexpensive Chinese pieces flooding the market aren't personally signed like this one, so who knows, could be a good sign. First things first, get a translation. Best of luck. It's a gorgeous piece.

 

Sorry for the late response, I appreciate all of the helpful advice everyone has given. I’ll take a closer look under the pad tomorrow to see if can make out the marking. I’ll have some updated pictures of my findings.
