889 Posted December 10, 2017 at 01:26 PM Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 at 01:26 PM On similar clearer marks, that smudged character is 瓷 and meant to be read together with 名: 名瓷 "famous porcelain." The number is separate and identifies the pottery. This type of mark was usually used by the state potteries in Jingdezhen from the 1950s to the early 1980s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
