Unknown Pottery mark - made in china

by diana

clearest i could get, sorry!

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?

Hi I too have a full T set with this mark searched every where any ideas much appreciated



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

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 am sending pictures as well, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Would love any background/value on this set.

marked with blue writing?
by: Anonymous

I have a set of china just like the one shown in the above thread. Mine, however, has blue markings on the back with the words "made in china" inside a thin blue oval with other chinese markings around the oval. I can't upload a pic at the moment. I have searched for a way to identify these but all the images I've found of these plates, bowls, etc. all say they are marked with a green pagoda. Mine are not. I'm super curious???

Green pagoda & mountains bottom of saucer
by: Nancy

I inherited a teacup with the same green pagoda and mountains on the bottom of the saucer. After reading the other comments...maybe this was an item manufactured by a government owned and operated facility before 1949. I can't find anything after searching for 2 hours.
more info?
by: AmyR

I have a couple of cups and saucers that match Gemma's pattern. I have checked Gotheborg and not found this exact mark.

I am not finding a date on any of these comments so I don't know how old or recent this thread is and I am happy for any more information than from 1919-1948.

Chinese Meaning
by: Luke

The Chinese on this piece says "中國醴陵", which means Liling, China- a city in Hunan province of China. I checked many Chinese websites but could not find much out about it. But this may help some of you. I did find on cup on eBay that is very similar to the one I have... $13.99 for cup and saucer.

LiLing, Hunan, P.R.CHINA
by: Joshua

Hi The above discussed porcelain cup and saucer set was made in LiLing (city), Hunan (province), P.R. China in 1970s and 1980s. The manufacturing company's name is called Yong Sheng Porcelain Company, which was closed in mid or late 1990s. These porcelain products are very good quality in those days when Chinese people's living standard is generally very low. China exported thousands and thousands of porcelain products to obtain us dollars to buy what it urgently needed from global marks like machinery and medicine equipments and etc. Hope this will help.

China teacup and saucer
by: Annie

Hello everyone ,
Thank goodness i came across this ,
I can't see when all these comments were sent but just to say ..........
I have a complete set of cup and saucers of the exact same pattern in the original and they are still in their box .
On the box it has '' 12 piece VICTORIA set ''
It has the same hallmark also
I got them from my mother in law years ago and have always been looking to see where the stamp mark came from and couldn't find anything about them - until now !
Many Thanks
Annie
Same china as in first picture NEW

Hi ,
My grandma bought this China in 1989s and I have the complete set. In my quest to find a matching tea pot I have done a reverse image search of the emblem and is said. Jie pai is the emblem. I am still in search for the tea pot but starting to think it does not exit. If someone has it can you post a picture so I can see what it looks like.
Thanks

Same Mark, Different Pattern
by: Donna

I have a tea set with the same identification mark as discussed above: a tall, slim pagoda with hills or forest in the background, Chinese characters and Made In China, all in green. It is the same mark I saw in an earlier post but the pattern is different. I found a plate on e-Bay that IS in the same pattern that said it was a Lotus Flower design and was from 1919-1946. I'm confused as to whether this pattern is that old or is, in fact, from the 80s as suggested. I am sending pictures to Peter at the email he listed.
Necesito saber la marca!!! NEW
by: Erika

Compré una taza para coleccionarla y también he buscado por todas partes esa información. Es una incógnita que me tiene de cabezas buscando info...por favor si alguien sabe, díganos.
Mi taza es con dos rosas rosadas pero una de ellas va cambiando el tono de los pétalos a medida que se abren en un tono gris ...casi un tono grafito al último.

Grandfather got his in Germany while deployed, 1952 NEW
by: Anonymous

Just like the title says, my grandfather bought a set of these dishes in Germany for my grandmother while he was deployed with the US army. He said they were "popular" back then and that all the soldiers were buying them for their wives. Not sure if this helps the search but figured I’d add that piece of info!
