He has been a regular contributor to ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Online since 1998. Solo during the Ming dynasty, the kilns at Jingdezhen in the south of China produced most of the blue and white ceramics. A date as the 29th year of the Republic as in mark 645 should thus indicate 1912 plus 29 years, or. Guangxu 1875-1908 period 1877 Signed: Po Zhang 1877 1427. U with elephant's trunk handles.

Most dates in the inscriptions are given as Chinese cyclical dates which are repeated every 60th years. Without a reference to the reigning emperor, it is possible to by mistake move the piece 60 years back or forward in time. The modernization of China by scholars, teachers and students alike started in late Guangxu 1875-1908 period, around 1900, along with Dr Sun's revolution. As of January 1, 1912 the Gregorian calendar was adopted by the nascent Republic of China for official business. The status of the Gregorian calendar between about 1916 and 1921 while China was controlled by several competing warlords is uncertain. From about 1921 until 1928 warlords continued to control northern China. Kuomintang who controlled the south of China, probably used the Gregorian calendar. The 10th of October 1928 the Kuomintang declared a reconstituted Republic of China and also decreed that as of 1th January 1929 everyone must use the Gregorian calendar. The earliest example I have so far on the practice of dating porcelain after the Gregorian calendar is from April that very same year, , in very small characters. During the Kuomintang period dates also occurs as numbered years of their Republic, from 1929, regarding this as year one. A date as the 29th year of the Republic as in mark 645 should thus indicate 1912 plus 29 years, or. When the Communists gained control of mainland China the 1st of October 1949, they simply continued using the Gregorian calendar, but now numbered the years in the Western manner, beginning with 1949. Export porcelain 19th century During the 18th to 19th century Chinese market porcelain was rarely dated. The few exceptions were porcelain ordered for funerals, birthdays or special commemorations. More common however was western market export porcelain that was ordered by the East India trade officials themselves, for themselves or for their friends and relatives back home. A few examples are given below. Export porcelain rarely or ever have any corresponding reign marks on their bases. With the signature of countess friherrinnan Anna Mathilda Palbitzki, 1800.
