Posted By: rat Sun, Mar 25, 2018 The Qianlong emperor had hundreds of seals, most were quite different from each other. This one looks like it has been applied to the base of porcelain or glass. To me it does not look handwritten or dating to the 18th century. Can you make your question more specific? |

Posted By: Ben Hon Mon, Mar 26, 2018 I examined it and the mark appears to be handwritten to me. Just wanted to know if the seal is a special one since it differs from the common seals. |

Posted By: Billy Mon, Mar 26, 2018 This does not look like it is from 18th c, looks like it is from 20th c. You cannot date anything from just the marks as they can be copied fairly easily. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Mar 27, 2018 Modern faux seals applied as transfers may emerge from the kiln with a tactile quality that's mistakable as hand-written, as seems to be the case here. I believe too that the red color in this seal is too intense for the 18th or 19th century. |

Posted By: Ben Hon Tue, Mar 27, 2018 Below is a comparison with a fake one. The fake is a rubber stamp seal taken from a 20th-century modern piece. |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Mar 31, 2018 The marks shown here are all basically the same thing: essentially flawless transfer-technology of one form or another, whether applied by rubber stamp, decal or a big, expensive ink-jet printer of the computer-controlled kind that also can put the spotless wrap-around logo of your favorite football team on a porcelain coffee mug. There's no real or fake, by my way of thinking, only "period" or "just another part of the decoration". Anybody worried about "fake" should stop as soon as they've paid, because as recently noted elsewhere in the forum, it's too late to sweat it once the money changes hands. |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Apr 02, 2018 I'm sure everyone would appreciate a look at this item instead of just its mark, thank you. |

Posted By: David Sat, Mar 31, 2018 Thanks Bill. Much clearer for me and I hope others. Just goes to show that the piece is more important than the seal I suppose as the piece will reveal more secrets and quicker. |
