Subject:Qianlong mark or imitation?
Posted By: Shea Mon, Mar 18, 2019 IP: 173.79.179.28 Hello forum members, |
Subject:Re: Qianlong mark or imitation?
Posted By: Bill H Tue, Mar 19, 2019 That's a perfectly good Qianlong-period dish with a 'Minyao' (popular kiln) base-mark and a protective 'Batavian' glaze around the rim. Below is another one with a bowl on it that has a deeper pink glaze, both with Qianlong marks of the period. The bowl doesn't have the brown glaze at the rim. The decoration beneath the rim is of bamboo leaves that I've been told are cyphered into Chinese adages on various dishes, however, I'm at a loss when it comes to what this one might say. |

Posted By: Shea Wed, Mar 20, 2019 Thank you once again, Bill, for sharing your knowledge! I was going to ask you for some beginner resource referrals but before I did, I wanted to make sure the information wasn't already posted somewhere. I found this post "Learning... ( China & Japan ) - Jack - Sep 19, 2018 (05:01 AM)" that has what seems to be some good starting references. But I didn't see input from you. Do you have any other recommendations for a novice? |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, Mar 21, 2019 If you're looking to learn Chinese, I lack any universally available fonts of knowledge to add to what others provided in that forum thread last year. In my case, I had a Chinese spouse and thus an extended Chinese family to help reinforce the grounding I received in the language during a couple of years in American Foreign Service schools in the USA and Taiwan. |

Posted By: Shea Fri, Mar 22, 2019 Thank you, Bill! I will likely purchase one of the online books today. I haven't been able to find the last one you mentioned. I see references to it quite often. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Mar 22, 2019 Sorry about the sold-out marks handbook. It had been a while since I checked. I see that a handful of new and used editions are listed on Amazon, but they are now treated as rare editions with a commensurate hike in prices. |
