Notes
Qing dynasty
marks:Some minyao (private kiln) marks written in Zhuanti characters are difficult to read bcause they are overly stylized. This is especially true for those of the Qing Jiaqing reign. Other minyao porcelain marks had the strokes simplified in various ways, including those of the Qianlong reign, which sometimes also were badly written/painted. Marks on official/imperial wares were normally following stricter rules. Ming dynasty marks: The marks of the last two Ming reigns are sometimes also problematic: written in Kaiti characters the minyao marks of the Tianqi reign may be written as well as those on imperial porcelain, or written very badly. The last reign of the Ming dynasty, the Zongzhen reign, had virtually no imperial marks; those on porcelain from minyao (private) kilns are sometimes almost impossible to read. |
