Could someone date these for me please,they seem quite old and the painting is better than many I've seen,thankyou.

They appear to be old, may be around Tong Zhi 1862 -1874.

To be more sure, can you show close-up pictures of the bottoms?

Thanks for the reply,this is the best picture I could take,Keith.

They seem to be post-Qing after looking at the bottoms. They do show some signs of wear. I would say that they might be made between WWI to mid-1900's.

Thank you for the info'

Hi Keith,
Just looking at the design on these suggests to me a Daoguang dating (1821 to 1850).
Your photo of the mark is awful. Have you not got a macro facility on your camera?
From the little I can see it looks like it may be a Daoguang mark, in which case I would suggest it is mark and period.
Please post a better photo to be certain.
Regards
Tony

Thanks for the reply Tony,have a macro on the camera just not a very good camera will ask my son to bring his camera round and try to get a better picture,Keith.
