<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 193268, member: 44&quot;]This appears to have an honorary/auspicious Qing dynasty Yongzheng porcelain marking. Yongzheng was the 3rd emperor of the Qing dynasty. Nowwww, the way this marking is done definitely looks like a relatively recent hoinorary/auspicious marking. It is not finely done. This has been a common practice out of China for the past 50+ years to use honorary markings. Here are authentic Yongzheng markings:</p><p><a href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#yongzheng" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#yongzheng" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/qingmarks.shtml#yongzheng</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The presence of a painted reign mark does not mean a piece is authentic -- any Chinese high school student can paint characters in their own language.&nbsp; However, the markings can help to confirm other indications of date.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://ceramics.chalre.com/authenticating_chinese_ceramics/qing_porcelain_marks.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ceramics.chalre.com/authenticating_chinese_ceramics/qing_porcelain_marks.htm" rel="nofollow">http://ceramics.chalre.com/authenticating_chinese_ceramics/qing_porcelain_marks.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a 20th century Yongzheng marked teapot.</p><p><a href="http://www.silkroadcollection.com/vb9069x-porcelain-teapot.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silkroadcollection.com/vb9069x-porcelain-teapot.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silkroadcollection.com/vb9069x-porcelain-teapot.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are teapots actually dating to the Yongzheng period (1723-1735).</p><p><a href="http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2016/10/01/34389964.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2016/10/01/34389964.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2016/10/01/34389964.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
