The hallmark, jia yin tang zhi, was used during the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods and may be translated, 'Well-shaded Hall'.

A similar candlestick with the same mark is illustrated by H. Myrtle, Late Chinese Imperial Porcelain, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 2 August - 28 September 1980, p. 15, no. 12.
