[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9445838, member: 2844"]With those thick black outlines on the butterfly wings I think Macau is likely. In general Macau porcelain was actually made in Canton but decorated in Macau. They loved butterflies and black.;) They still use 'Qianlong' marks, but there are differences from one period to the next in style and cartouche shape, and the same between manufacturers. Most 20th and 21st century Qianlong marks are not meant to deceive, but are a reference to the greatest patron of the arts of the Qing dynasty, emperor Qianlong. Thanks to his patronage great art was made. So not meant as fakes, but as honorific marks, also called apocryphic marks[/QUOTE]
