Title: Antique Chinese Charger Impressed Mark
Post by: DSky25 on December 17, 2013, 09:13:32 AM

Hey guys

Found this charger with an unusual impressed mark on the bottom. They're asking $225 for it but I'm a little hesitant without knowing what the mark means. It's a large plate, probably 18 inches in diameter. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Dont recognise the mark but the characters and the overall look of the charger give me the impression it's fairly modern.

I'd expect you to be able to find something similar much cheaper at auction

I would pass unless you JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT.  Won't get your money back if you try and sell it later.  Overpriced!
