Some help needed with wonderful piece
« on: September 01, 2013, 11:50:26 am »
Hi All
Hope you are all well
I have acquired this piece today about 14inchs tall and the stand consists of 4 beautiful storks/cranes holding the dish
beautifully painted but for the life of me I cannot make out the marks
the main crest mark has WL in the middle above the date of 1895
there is also 2 Chinese characters on the edge and 191
I would appreciate any help on maker etc ?
cheers
TC
