    I ALWAYS have trouble with Chinese & Japanese marks. I try the Gotheborg site every time, but I am never sure, and I end up second guessing myself.

    I tried to find the mark from a nothing-much, contemporary ginger jar tonight. Just for reference, this is a quick shot of the jar:

    Here is the mark, followed by the one I thought closest (not the same) on Gotheborg* (I Man Ri):

    Am I completely off-course here?

    Thanks for any input and/or advice!

    You are welcome. And I also need to ID several items tomorrow. I got one very nice carved indian horn and several small items today. However, the seller said she sold the dinosaur egg fossil and I didn't get it today!!!!!!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
