I showed one of those on the cloisonne thread on the base of a vase.</p><p>You can see the second character down on the vase is vaguely similar to the Ming mark, with two side by side, rectangular boxed shapes with extensions on the right side. The first right mark for &#039;the great&#039; is like a large T, with wide lines on each side, these can also be seen in a similar form on the vase top left, except the side bottom lines are not attached.</p><p>I was trying to convey, that this was a poor attempt at a Ming mark, that&#039;s is all. The real Chinese and Japanese potters knew better than this, I would think. Value, no, unless as a study piece you can keep.</p><p>@AJ</p><p>Since I don&#039;t believe it to be either Chinese or Japanese. There is no issue there for me.... lol</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/20170626_064731-1-600x800-jpg.83389/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
