Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 42938, member: 44"]I think??? the mark needs to be rotated 90 degrees to the right. The closest I could spot a mark to this one on the Gotheborg.com  Chinese marks page is c1950s superfluous/honorary Qianlong period mark. "335. "Qianlong Nian Zhi" "Qianlong Period Make". From the 'realistic' look of the decoration despite the small scale of the available picture, I would like to suggest a date to around 1950s on this piece." Scroll about 1/2 way down the page to the section: "Qianlong Nian Zhi - Qianlong Period Make." The first 7 marks are in "seal script". The next marks are "Kaishu (normal script) style." These marks seem to be like yours especially #335. Note #335 is on a ginger jar. Your would be called a ginger jar also. Do read the info at the beginning of the section and about the normal script style info. "335. "Qianlong Nian Zhi" "Qianlong Period Make". From the 'realistic' look of the decoration despite the small scale of the available picture, I would like to suggest a date to around 1950s on this piece." <a href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml</a> Meant to add, the mark on your jar is faded and rubbed. --- Susan Your mark rotated 90 degrees:[ATTACH=full]10779[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
