Featured Chinese Mark

I am sure that this porcelain Hotei or Buddha is not yet an antique but can anyone read the three character impressed mark? I think he could be Republic period.

The mark is not on Gotheborg

Thanks in advance

John

 

that fat boy looks pretty new....but if u rub his belly....u may get a wish !!!

 

It’s a maker’s mark: Zhu Yi Tai

 

I couldn't do that with my feet.

 

Neither could I, but my bf can

 

Thank you Ken

 

You’re most welcome

 

seems you're onto something, John:

Don't think mine's as fine as this one.

 

hard to say, yours is nice and maybe not as new as I suspected

 

These can sell for very good prices, i have never cracked the code why one is worth os much more than the other.

 

Different buyers have different tastes, and have different criteria. I think John’s piece has its own muted charm. It would be interesting to see what Christies makes of it
