Asian hyroglifiks

[ozwinner]

Hi all
Is there anyone here on the forum in Melbourne who can read Asian characters?
I think they are Chinese, but not sure, Ive tried to scan them with little success, so cant post here.
They are on the bottom of a vase.

Al :)

[Termite]

Probably says "Made in China". :rolleyes:

[Iain]

I worked for an Asian character, could read him, said &&&&&&&&, still owes me a heap:mad:
&&&&&&&&=Aerosol.............
Bloody auto edit.
I can speak Chinese, Nee Ha, thats the extent of it.

[redwood]

I can read Asian women, but only in brail:rolleyes:

[Auld Bassoon]

Hi Al,

Remind me on Sunday - I'll take a couple of digital pics, and show them to a couple of Asian guys at work, see if they can read them.. Termite's probably right though - or "not for export"...

[ozwinner]

Thanks Steve.
This thing is old.....old.
Im guessing early 1800's, maybe earlier.

Its a cloisonne (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=cloisonne&btnG=Google+Search&meta=).

And there was I, thinking that a cloisonne was a breakfast pastry with a speech impediment.

Probably explains why I keep breaking my bloody teeth on the bastards after I've spread them with butter and strawberry jam. :D

[craigb]

I would say Chinese too.

Shame about the damage.

[ozwinner]

There is Mother of Pearl inlay in the shoulder of the vase too.

Al :cool:

[Studley 2436]

Just reading with my Japanese wife, she guesses that it says made in and the name of the town. She did think it said Hunan but we found out it is not. The middle Kanji means south and the top one lake. Really you need a chinese to help you

Thank you both.
At least I now know it is Chinese.

Al :)

[Wongo]

“Dumb white man”:D

Hehe sorly can’t help it.

It is “Made in Woo Nan” (spelling??)

It is a place in northern China. I will look it up on a map later.

Al, you owe me a beer.:cool:

[Schtoo]

A place in Northern China?

I though the middle one (Al, the writing is sideways) said south?

Close enough I guess. :D

[Studley 2436]

thats what my wife said like made in south lake need to be chinese to read what it really is she said. Anyhow it was sideways in the pic which didn't help much

Wongo can make all the white man jokes he likes

Studley

[Wongo]

Yeah I am still trying to figure out if “Woo (lake) nan (south)” a Chinese province of city. And I can’t remember whether it is in the north or south.

Confucius Say Close enough is good enough. :D

[Wongo]

Got it!

Ok the official spelling is Hunan. It is a province in the south next to Canton. Well NORTH of Canton really.:p

Sigh…the Chinese in me is fading away slowly.:o

[Studley 2436]

WOW score one for the Missus she said it is hunan but did a google and couldn't find the Kanji. So she said that is lake that is south and get a chinese to tell you!

When we found Hunan in the list of Kanji it was different, I was taking her word on it

Studley

Sigh…the Chinese in me is fading away slowly.:o
