This Antique Vintage Chinese Cantonese porcelain box in the design of a duck. Interesting relief work and detail, Red and blue enamels are painted over the white very much in old Imari style of a flowers and a lotus vine. The mark reads: 羊城戊辰年制 which means Yangcheng Wuchen Nianzhi, which means 'Made in Canton in Guangdong in a wuchen year'; which could be 1928, 1868 or 1988'. A wuchen lunar year occurs every 60 lunar years. The general and experienced consensus from th...ose who collect Chinese wares, is that this was made in the 1928 wu chen year- vintage, so 13 years away from being an antique. It is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips, some minor wear to the surface is likely although I only see a few age spots and the colors are still very bright.
Approx.6 inches long and 4 inches high.An attractive useful trinket box or display item.
A few very small scuff marks due to age. Well signed. In good vintage condition
