<p>[QUOTE="gckimm, post: 9612040, member: 83519"]Can't attest to the authenticity of the jar, but I checked some Chinese websites to learn about raised seal. It is a mark of Youxianju (有閑居), a workshop that was originally established during the Kangxi reign to produce porcelain for the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan (圓明園). From my research, it looks like the workshop continued to produce high quality porcelain up to the end of the Qing dynasty (1911). Some porcelain was also made with this mark during the Republic period in the early part of the 20th century. The blue characters state that this piece is from the Qianlong period, but I would not believe that. While this particular item does not look very elegant, it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out by someone more knowledgeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
