Greetings Antiquers! As you most know, I am a new member, and I am still exploring and trying to get a hang of how things work... so accept this...
Old thread, but... Last one is an interesting piece; the character piece that comes off to reveal a penis/vulva is the character for "longevity"...
LOL!
The characters on the base state it was made in the year of Qian Long (Qian Long Nian Zhi) --- not! My guess it's it is a fairly new piece... ......
The characters stand for "Chinese porcelain" (Zhong Guo taoci.) New, cheap, decorative porcelain.
Yes it does, you are right. "Shougong zhizuo" hand made. It was made in China, cheap product.

The Chinese paintings on silk are probably as stated (as per the stamp) what they are supposed to be --- hand painted. They are mass produced in...
Da Qing Dao Guang would be (if a real piece) 1821-1850. Keep in mind though that modern copies of everything are made these days. Also,...
