The two characters <i>You xian</i> 有閒 when together means &quot;Living alone&quot; or &quot;In retirement&quot; why the combination is usually translated as &quot;retreat&quot;. The two last characters <i>Jian zhi</i> means &quot;Overseen and Produced (Make)&quot;. These marks are all applied onto modern porcelain related to United Wilson of Hong Kong. The porcelain most likely dates to the second half of the 20th century.</p><p><a href="https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/bild/1579_fullsize.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/bild/1579_fullsize.jpg" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/bild/1579.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> 1579.
