I can identify individual characters in the Chinese marks in my Millers antique guides, but am none the wiser overall!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-80647495897334850102015-02-07T05:05:19.290-08:002015-02-07T05:05:19.290-08:00Hi Jennie, Paul has tried to work it out, but it i...Hi Jennie, Paul has tried to work it out, but it is difficult. You have to count the strokes in the character, and then look under the relevant number of strokes. So...<br /><br />L/H Zon/Son=a person; Nen=year; Sei=manufacturer.. Made in the Year Son, but unfortunately there is no number after the first character to specify which year.<br /><br />R/H Yo=sheep/goat; Jo=castle; Sei; completion or decorated??; Decorated by Yojo?<br /><br />So as a Chinese tea bowl, may have been decorated in a particular year by the Emperor Son. <br /><br />It's a start but what you need is a Chinese expert on pottery ;)<br />thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-41255485784962256092015-02-05T09:23:36.042-08:002015-02-05T09:23:36.042-08:00I tried posting earlier, but lost it twice after t...I tried posting earlier, but lost it twice after the central heating electrickery blokes were unplugging outlets downstairs (broadband included).<br /><br />Anyway, welcome Eggs In My Pocket. I will pop across to your blog shortly. Meanwhile, I prefer snow to hailstones, and am glad we haven't had too much of either recently, though it has been pretty cold. A degree or so warmer today, but you wouldn't know it yet. Your wee shop sounds interesting and I think one or two of those books might have been of interest to you too.<br /><br />Vicky - it's probably not really worth the effort in saving the bridle, as "they" will be sniffy over it anyway! Some of the rads are working but there are still 6 that stubbornly aren't. We've wound it up a bit to make sure the house warms up, but it will be back down to 15 deg. background heat from tomorrow.<br /><br />CT - I think I may rue ever starting the job but I like to rise to a challenge! I'm now half frightened to wear the earrings in case I lose one.

I have a vintage glassware and dish shop and also collect different pieces. It is great to find books that detail what a piece is. Love those earrings!
