<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toomanytocount, post: 260148, member: 5115&quot;]From a bit of knowledge about Chinese metal marks, they can represent a combination of several aspects. The name of maker, the type of metal, the place, even a symbolic mark as Fuku, there were no rules, between 1912 to 1949, during the Republic of China years, between the Imperial and the Mao Communist governments.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a full FUKU mark from the base of a cloisonne vase I owned, this one is an old 19th century Japanese piece, they also used some of the same good omen symbol as decorations and marks. Not saying your mark has this symbol, but may have a few of the same&nbsp; characters, such as the square.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]81274[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
