Title: Van Briggle 5" Vase
Post by: maa1247 on May 27, 2017, 06:35:40 PM

This is a Van Briggle Ming Turquoise 5" Vase with tulips. Can anyone help me date this.  On the underside there appears to be 2 numbers directly under the hallmark (left side) but I can' determine the numbers - looks like 3 is the first #, but I can't be certain.  I would appreciate if anyone could help date this for me.    There are a couple of scribble marks (looks like blue ink) - don't know if this is anything other than scribbly marks.  Thank you

Also, can you identify the flowers as either Tulip or Crocus - or something else?  Thank you

Thank you - I saw several listings too.  Some called the bloom Anenome, some Tulips, some Crocus. The more I magnified the underside I can see that instead of 2 numbers it has 2 initials.  Also I read that the finishers used ink marks to identify their work.  That may be what those 2 scribbly lines are!  Thanks for your help.

I saw another like yours on ebay and it had a 2 in black on it !!  I think that may be what those scribbles are !!  Probably an inspection number !!
