lonny tao Posted May 25, 2019 at 03:43 PM Report Posted May 25, 2019 at 03:43 PM Today I found in a store a porcelain bowl with characters on the bottom. Is the mark Chinese? Factory mark? Can someone tell me what it means? Quote
Jim Posted May 25, 2019 at 04:33 PM Report Posted May 25, 2019 at 04:33 PM It says (right hand column of three characters) 锦松梅; (left hand) 西峰作(?), the internet seems to think that's the mark of a contemporary Japanese pottery studio ( 锦松梅) on a quick search, with the individual artist (left hand column) signing the piece Pics of a different piece by same artist here: http://www.kongfz.cn/27897772/pic/ 2 Quote
lonny tao Posted May 25, 2019 at 05:12 PM Author Report Posted May 25, 2019 at 05:12 PM I was also thinking it can be Japanese also. I Like Chinese things and everything in my house is Chinese. The bowl is nice looking but when its japanese I do it away. I have a picture of the bowl. Thanks for the info, more info always welcome. Quote
Tomsima Posted May 25, 2019 at 05:23 PM Report Posted May 25, 2019 at 05:23 PM how is 梅 written here? It looks so much like 椅 (which obviously doesnt make sense in this context). Is this a Japanese way of writing the character? Quote
