! ! ! HELP WANTED TO IDENTIFY ORIENTAL POTTERY MARK ! ! !

Hello, thankyou for your input Lovejoy. I read on the internet an article about early lang yao wares & that they have bands of white glaze applied to the vases, one around the side of the base & another on the rim...these bands are mathematically correct & do not feature any overrun from the flambe glaze onto the white...apparently it is stated that this technique has not been able to be repeated by C20th potters & it is one of the principle characteristics of the earlist best flambe wares. A company mark might imply C20th production, but my vase does exhibit this banding technique & has all- over fine crazing which leads me to think it is not of modern manufacture. I'm guessing C19th or earlier, but its only a guess. Also that the base is of a caramel / light coffee colour glaze, which is very similar in colour to some bases of imperially marked wares. How old can a salutation mark be? Could the mark be that of the maker or that of the person that ordered this piece? If I am not able to put a timeline on the mark, then I guess I'll have to estimate its age from an appraisal of its characteristics on the whole. What do you think? yours most sincerely & gratefully, Jim.
