How do I identify Chinese porcelain marks?
1 Answer
To identify Chinese porcelain marks, consult trusted online resources. Most markings on Chinese porcelain consist of four to six characters, and the last two often represent when a piece was produced. Since there is a lot of variation in the markings, looking at images shared on trustworthy websites is the best way to make an identification. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Chinese porcelain.
