The hallmark, Jing yuan tang zhi, 'Made for the hall of the quiet distances' is a mark used during the 18th and 20th centuries. The same mark can be found on a vase illustrated by van Oort, Chinese Porcelain of the 19th and 20th Centuries, The Netherlands, 1977, p. 143, pl. 188, mark illustrated, p. 178, pl. 258, where the author dates the piece to the period of 1917-1937
