Subject:Chinese Four Symbol Pottery Mark
Posted By: Robert Lawrence Mon, Aug 06, 2018 IP: 2600:1702:1920:2800:
I've had a lot of fun searching for the meaning of this mark on a stunning tureen with top and spill plate. Since the mark is red, most likely a rubber stamp, could be early 1900s. Probably "peoples ware." Anybody have any further ideas?? Let me know. I'm not sure if I should use for food or a nice special centerpiece for the holidays.

If anyone can help me translate the mark, that would be great!

I think the mark reads from the top right down and across in a somewhat generic fashion as "Made by the Ceramic Arts Kiln". This would be "Taoyi yao Zhi/陶藝窯製 " in Mandarin Chinese, or "Toge gama sei" (perhaps) in Japanese. Google produced no hits on the mark with "Zhi/製/made" included, either in standard or simplified characters. The motif on the tureen jogs memories of patterns seen on wares of a Hong Kong contemporary manufacturer, the United Wilson Porcelain Company, which decorates ceramic blanks from Mainland China.

Best regards,

Bill H.
