[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 407967, member: 2844"]No, it does nothing for the value, probably even lowers it. Without the lid you can sell the jar as home decoration. The link was just meant to show what a Chenghua Nian Zhi mark looked like. Your manufacturer used a different colour, that is all it is. Chenghua Nian Zhi means 'made during the period of Chenghua'. Chenghua was a Chinese emperor who reigned from 1465-1487, but this is definitely not the period it was made in. Chinese ceramics are often marked with the mark of an earlier period, either as a reference to a great period in history, or intended to fake. In this case the mark means nothing. That is often the case with Chinese marks.[/QUOTE]
