Unknown Mark On Famille Rose Bowl

Can somebody please help me with the mark on the bottom of this rose bowl. Unfortunately it looks faded so may be difficult to identify.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

1554. Qianlong Nian Zhi "Qianlong Period Made". The mark says "FARICDO EM MACAU" being a short for FABRICADO EM MACAU, mening "Made in Macau". Later part of 20th century. The style, manner and enamels used are same as what typifies Hongkong wares. If I am to guess, if this vase is decorated in Macao at all, as the mark says, that might have been by a workshop that have moved out of Hongkong due to increased housing costs around the 1970s and one that have brought its signature enamels and outline stamps, etc. with them, because everything is typically "Hongkong", yet, the stamp says Macao.

no , not difficult at all..... and I'm no pottie !

ya stick around here long enuf..... you learn by osmosis

 

It's also not difficult to find these bowls. If you go to an antiques market/store or a car boot sale in Portugal, it will be difficult to find a bowl/vase/spoon/cup that doesn't have the Macao mark on it No huge surprise, obviously, as Macao is a former colony of Portugal.

 

True, but Bill is in the UK, not in Portugal.

 

A good excuse for Bill to visit Portugal

And, if needed, next time I visit Portugal, I can send a shipping container filled with Macao ware to the UK
