[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 292073, member: 2844"]Hello Joe, terry is correct, ceramics do not have hallmarks. Hallmarks are stamped by an assay office on items made of precious metal as legal verification of their fineness. But you will attract the jewellery and silver crowd with your title.;) Your vase is a vase. What you mean is a Chinese hat stand, but they have holes in the sides to ventilate the inside of the hat, like this one: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.petrierogers.com%2Fitems%2F1297910%2Fpicture1.jpg&sp=0fb24ad3801061c8226a45e8f6574c6b[/IMG] The mark is pretty generic. There is no genuine or fake dynastic mark on the vase, and without detailed pictures it is impossible to give any indication of a possible age.[/QUOTE]
