Subject:Inscription on old Chinese porcelain cup
Posted By: Paul Seno Thu, Dec 17, 2020 IP: 106.68.57.140 Hi all, can anyone help me with this inscription on an old Chinese cup. I have had a vague translation in the past about this being a gift to a warlord general in 1919. Can anyone please provide me a more precise translation? |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Dec 18, 2020 In my sense of it, the inscription appears to say 'During the mid-autumn festival of the Wuwu year young officers were shown appreciation by military advisors for outstanding improvements and the dead were respected with bestowal of posthumous titles' (戊午中秋子春軍師賞卓悛敬贈 - Wu wu zhong qiu zi chun jun shi shang zhuo quan jing zeng). Corrections welcome. |

Posted By: Paul Seno Sat, Dec 19, 2020 Thank you Bill H and I Nagy. Your help has enabled me narrow down my research considerably. From the previous information I possessed and your input I believe I now have a more solid clue to who the cup was given to. |
