Subject:Re: Porcelain pot with chinese characters - translation
Posted By: Bill H Sun, Feb 24, 2019
The characters appear to be:
上详小東门內, 童亟春堂監製 (Shang xiang Xiao dong men nei, Tong han chun tang)
While I could not find an exact duplicate of this jar and inscription either, I did come across a 2010 brief mention online of a medicinal wine-making company called Tonghanchun in Raoping County, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. If I'm on the right track here, The jar inscription might be translated in context as, "Prime goodness, located in Little East Gate, with production supervised by the Hall of Youthful Armor of Springtime".
Although this was a recent citation, such a firm would not necessarily be so new. However, I would hope someone else has the resources to verify these findings.
Good luck,
Bill H.
