<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 145861, member: 44&quot;]I have no help on material nor really on age. I can say the pic of the marks need to be rotated about 90 degrees to the left. They should appear as:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]39131[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These markings/characters usually appear with the left pair of characters over the right pair of characters like the following.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]39132[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These characters are found on the right side of the marks for &quot;Qianlong period, Made.&quot; Now I don&#039;t know if they are auspicious Quinlong period marks meaning this are of the 20th century and were used to honor the Quinlong period or for reproduction of Quinlong style. The auspicious Quinlong period, made&quot;&nbsp; marks are pictured and explained on the following page. Scroll a gooooddd 1/2 way down the page to the section titled &quot;Qianlong Nian Zhi - Qianlong Period Make.&quot; Under this section scroll down to the subsection with the paragraph:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Following marks are in <i>Kaishu</i> (normal script) style. This is the present-day regular script, which has been in existence now for almost 2000 years. As opposed to seal script, which is drawing, this is <i>hand writing</i>. None of the following marks are of the Qianlong period despite that they say so. See comments next to each individual mark for an approximate date.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This section has 4 pairs or 4 characters. Note that the right side of the marks are like yours such as #s: 1394, 260, 335, etc...</p><p><a href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturychina.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is info on the Quinlong Period telling about its marks at the end of the section. Note that it says:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;On a small group of porcelain genuine marks in raised blue enamel can appear. Seal marks from the period can also be written in a cartouche or with the seal broken up, and on the base of stem-cups written in a **horizontal row** from right to left.</p><p><a href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#qianlong" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#qianlong" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#qianlong</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Again I want to stress that I have no idea whether these are authentic Quinlong period marks or auspicious marks honoring that period!!!! Do wait for others to chime in.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
