Title: Help with Mark????
Post by: antiquerose123 on September 02, 2008, 12:21:07 PM

Hi, this is most likely recent, but I am not sure as I can not find it anywhere.  It is just on a teacup, but still would like to be able to date it, can anyone help please??

Need a clearer picture of the characters really, however, the first appears to be 'Zhong' so i would guess the mark reads 'Zhongguo Zhi Zao', i.e. 'Made in China'. From the style of the mark I'd say it was fairly recent, probably 1980s to present.
