Qiu Tian Bao Lao of Shanghai and Lao Tia Bao of Tientsin have been suggested by unknown sources as hallmark translation....your opinion appreciated.
my camera is a bit off- my shooting as well. Will try another piece with a clearer mark if found.
All pieces have the exterior circle stamped
Thank you indubitably!
Chinese Antique Hallmark Id on small cups
Re: Chinese Antique Hallmark Id on small cups
Welcome to the Forum.
It is very difficult to see all of the marks in the photos provided.
There appears to be a single-character mark followed by a string of 3 (or possibly 4) characters, the second and third of which are:
天寳 Tian Bao
Please take a photo with a camera's macro function and crop the photo to enlarge the marks. With a better photo, a positive ID should be possible.
