[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 58800, member: 118"]Nuff, c'mon, don't puke, there was no disrespect. Susan, I know nothing about caligraphy but when it comes to Chinese seals on porcelain, that is a serious business. In my opinion they are both not quite right. They are meant to read the same but look carefully how the characters differ. Chinese caligraphy is an art and that is why sometimes only experts can tell if the seal is authentic and from the period or not. If you say something like " your mark is the same like the one on the gotheborg website..." that would mean the piece is from the 70's. Could be, but you can have similar mark from Republic and 18c. periods. It has been said many times, the marks on Chinese porcelain are the last thing to look at to determine the age. Other things like age signs, the enamels, colors, styles of drawing, decorative motifs, shapes, foot rims, glaze etc have to be taken in consideration. Daily hint: If the reign mark is not in the center ( in some cases could be just a bit off ) the piece is very likely to be quite recent.[/QUOTE]
