Antique Questions Forum / This vase looks like it is marked on the bottom Louie G.L.R.

« on: May 12, 2009, 10:51:47 pm »

This is a nice looking vase, but i can find out nothing about it. Like i mentioned in the title, on the bottom looks like it says Louie, and under that three letters G.L.R.

The picture of the art work shows up well in the picture, but when you are looking at it, in low light it is not so bright, when the sun shines on it, it brings out the artwork. I mean it was made that way, not that the paint is dull. I don't know what you would call the technique, but it is very nice 

Can anyone help me out with the mark? I have searched, but can find no info on it. Thanks for taking time to look!

Antique Questions Forum / Japanese ceramic vase?

« on: May 12, 2009, 10:43:02 pm »

I don't know if this would be a vase, it has some painting on the inside as well as the outside. I tried to get a good picture of the mark on the bottom, but out of 10 pictures these are the best i got.

The mark looks like maybe 7 Chinese/Japanese characters inside a red rectangle. below the rectangle looks like the number 1 in a circle, and on the edge (you will see in the picture) looks like a circle with A6 inside the circle.

I just want to know if anyone can give me some information on this piece. I have tried searching for the marks online to get an idea of where to start looking for information. Anything would be help. Thanks you in advance for any leads
