 age of moon flasks and marks
by: Anonymous

All moon flasks should be about the same age. Later 20th century, probably.
The first mark here is the same as the one as on the very first piece.

These are also Jingdezhen marks.
The second ond looks like a sticker, but it could be stamped on rough (ground) bottom. The third is a rubber stamp. Anyway, these couple of marks seem to be applied later, after firing, eith on top of the glaze, or the glaze was roughened. They should be below the glaze, usually.

 marks
by: peter

These flasks look all the about the same age to me.
Also with "Jingdezhen" marks. The marks look as if they were stamped on.
Is the mark applied above the glaze? If the ground below looks rough, then they were tampered with, that means the original mark removed (possibly ground off) and another one put on top.

 chinese moon flask
by: peter

The decoration and shape looks Chinese. Here also a Jingdezhen mark and bottom similar as the previous one. I don't think it is Japanese, but rather relatively recent Chinese ...
