[QUOTE="georgeingraham, post: 2966610, member: 6261"]Here are some good pics and additional info of the Shiwan figure for one of the two He-He Er Xian brothers. 9 1/4" tall, crackled green celadon and brown glazes. Best guess is early 20th century. He-He Er Xian, translates as the Immortals of Harmony and Union, the two Gods of Harmony and Union, and are Taoist immortals. A cash coin with a legend that if I understand correctly, reads from top, bottom, right and left, 丁財貴壽 , Ding Cai Gui Shou. The top and bottom characters refer to the period title and tells which reign the coin was minted. So Ding reign, Zhou dynasty. The first piece shared last week I felt ok with dating late 19th early 20th. This one has "China" stamped inside. I can not find any reference that tells when potters first started stamping stoneware pieces. So to give the benefit of doubt, for now until I learn more am leaning towards early 20th rather than including the possibly being late 19th.. I just don't know for sure.
