<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Brassey, post: 4251500, member: 15277&quot;]My feeling after a day or so and after reading all the helpful comments is that the mark is most probably stamped (not necessarily mechanically). The shape is unusual and not one found in modern pieces. In fact I’ve only found two pieces in the many hundreds I’ve looked at with this exact shape. I’ve found scores with flared rims. I even took out the colour and searched in black and white. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both I’ve found in this exact shape were c1800-1850 and I’m inclined to think that mine dates to around then. I’m going to list it on eBay in a few weeks. The experts will certainly find it if it’s earlier. I’m not going to state it is Qianlong. </p><p><br /></p><p>thanks again for all the help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
