Majolica thee set DPRK mark
« on: March 22, 2014, 11:31:24 am »
Dear all,

I'm sorry for my bad English but I'will try 8)
I'm new here and hope someone can help me.
Today I bought a complete majolica service with a mark that I cant find on the internet.
It is a made in DPRK mark with a bird and the word rice in half chinese letters.
Can someone tell me what's the age of it and why I cant find DPRK majolica's on the internet?
Thanks for reading!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Can you please post a picture of the pottery marks and pictures of the pieces?  We will need these to help you with your pieces.  At the top of the forum page is instructions for posting pictures!

Look forward to seeing your pieces!

By-the-way, DPRK usually stands for Democratic People's Republic of Korea!  Don't know if this is what yours is referring to until we see the actual pictures of the mark!  But haven't seen this on pottery before!

Hard to made out...but don't believe it says China.  Only looks like 4 letters and a period.

I made better pictures today because of the light.
So you can see now (hope) that it is made in D.P.R.K, the bird and the word RICE.

Just did a quick image search, and a set similar to yours showed up on a Swedish eBay site. (Sorry, but I can't get a link to work.) It was noted as being produced in the Kaesong Industrial Region of North Korea. If that's true, then it would date sometime after 2003 when that complex opened.

(Searching for "made in dprk" on Yahoo, this image comes up:)

Hi Rauvelle,

Thank you for searching about it.
I can't find anything about it, but I can't believe that it is recent. It looks like antique (the painting, the glaze and the mark). But I would like to find your 'set'. Can you give me the words that you typed when you found it?

Ok nice that you found it, when I typ made in dprk on yahoo I cant see that picture, but it is the same.
So I can conclude that it is nothing (date, worth etc.).

It isn't trash!  Just not something that is your treasure or that you will retire on.

To people that had to escape from N Korea and never were allowed to return, and have family there...this would be worth something to them!  

Rauville, There is a large industrial complex in N. Korea that there is pottery making there.  The complex is Kaesong.   Believe items mark IC mean Imperial Crown.  You might want to change your search to N. Korean Stoneware.

One man's trash is another man's treasure!  That is definitely the motto of this forum!

You're right KC, for sure there's no place for it in my other antiques, but it goes to the second hand shore.
