Subject:Asian porcelain with bird or Bug mark
Posted By: Tracy Sun, Jul 17, 2022 IP: 50.35.235.150

Hi, would appreciate any help identifying the mark. I have a pair of bowls

The first mark appears to be that of a butterfly and is found in the China-published “Collection of Classical Markings on Chinese Historical Porcelains” (Zhongguo lidai taoci kuanzhi dadian - 中国历代陶瓷款识大典). In my opinion, the second picture simply shows decoration in the cavetto, albeit might also be used as a base mark in other instances. I have a shallow bowl with similar decoration which has a square factory base mark consisting of a non-character cipher within a double square border of a type that was used in the late Ming and Kangxi period and also is pictured in the above-referenced book.

I can't say for sure whether these marks have been copied in later times but suspect they have, like just about everything else in porcelain.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Hi Bill, Thank you for your post. I really appreciate the help with this. Is the reference “collection of classical Markings” in print form or is it viewable online.
Regards
Tracy
