Subject:Any help please Chinese TRANSLATION mark possibly Da Qing Kangxi
Posted By: Shoe-In Tue, Dec 27, 2016 IP: 37.152.247.167

Hi.

I am looking for help please to translate a mark which I have on a Chinese Opium Pipe.

From looking I think there is 'Da Qing' and 'Kangxi' in there but I don't really know what I'm doing so any help would be highly helpful thank you :)

Also if anyone is able to take a guess at the age of the piece that would also be greatly appreciated too :)

Thanks a lot.

大清康熙年製
your reading is quite right, it's supposed to be a kangxi reign mark, but this vessel is a recent imitation, the decoration probably transfers (decals).
