Unknown Pottery mark - made in china

by diana

clearest i could get, sorry!

i bought some china at a thrift store and can't identify the mark. It's green and looks like a tall pagoda surrounded by mountains, rising into the clouds. under that are what appear to be 4 chinese letters, and under that the words "made in china". I would be so grateful if anyone could tell me what mark it is, I've looked everywhere and can't identify it! If anyone knows, please e-mail me at diana.3d2006 {AT} gmail {DOT} com.

Thank you!!

Diana

Don't know how long ago you posted this query...my daughter-in-law just bought a set of dishes at a garage sale, and it has the same mark on the back. Did anyone come up with a name for the maker?

===================================

Thr Forum Help Elf says:-

Not much help is forthcoming on this thread because you did not post a picture of the mark. Words are never enough - people need to see the mark.

Some general info which might help is this - "MADE IN CHINA" was required on US imports from about 1919. Before this time, just the word "CHINA" was OK .

Peoples' Republic of China (P.R.O.C.) in either Western or Chinese characters was added from 1949.

This may possibly date your item to around 1919 to 1949. No other examples of this mark exist online, so make yourself a superstar by sending some pics to Peter here peteradmin@theclayartist.com so we can add it to this page. Thanks.

The chinese letters
by: Anonymous

The first symbol on the plate looks like the first symbol in the second translation. The second symbol on the plate looks like the last symbol on the first translation of your example for P.R.O.C. I believe the first two symbols on the plate mean CHINA. I will keep looking to see if I can find an example for the other two symbols or the word. Thanks!

I also have purchased a set of 8 china just like the cup shown in the picture with the pink flowers......and the somewhat scalloped (wavy) edges. Does anyone have any information on history of this china?

I have very similar set
by: Anonymous

The set I inherited from my grandmother looks nearly identical to the same pattern as yours. the imprint says "Made in china" in blue with a cirlce around it and some other symbols that look to be chinese lettering. I am sending pictures as well, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Would love any background/value on this set.

Thanks!!
