[QUOTE="CGB_Spender, post: 231298, member: 4318"]Hello Everyone, As always, Sunday is market day and I always come home with at least a bag full of things. I am beginning to learn about porcelain and how to interpret their marking and trying to spot older pieces from newer and things like this. It is a long road with many things to learn, so at the moment I am buying $1 - $2 items I like with markings so I can practice. Today I picked up this small vase with Chinese markings on it. I have no idea about how to read Chinese or interpret its makers mark. I have looked through a few websites to try and match it but it proves challenging, which I do not mind. The only thing is, I have no idea if I am looking at the mark upside down or not. Any pointers on how to go about this? Also if any one can read the characters on the side of the vase, that would be awesome. Just looking at it and how it is made, I do not feel there is any great age to it, but for a dollar it was too nice to pass.
