Porcelain plate or ceramic vessel with underglaze red monogram/mark

Ceramics

Uncommon

Identified on September 27, 2026

Estimated Value

$20-$150 if this is a common marked ceramic piece; potentially higher if the mark can be attributed to a known maker or artist

The image shows a close-up of a small red hand-painted mark or monogram on a light-colored ceramic surface. The mark appears stylized and possibly calligraphic, with intersecting strokes and a curled flourish. It may be a maker's mark, decorator's mark, or artist's monogram rather than a full signature. Because only the mark is visible and not the full object, the exact form of the item cannot be determined, though it is likely a plate, bowl, vase, or similar porcelain/ceramic piece.

Era

Unknown; likely 19th to 20th century based on the style of the mark

Origin

Unknown; possibly European or East Asian, but insufficient evidence to determine confidently

Material

Porcelain or fine ceramic with red underglaze or overglaze painted mark

Condition

Good overall based on the visible area, though the image only shows a small section and does not allow assessment of chips, cracks, crazing, or wear

Light to Medium

Authentication

Authenticity Score

Low. The image is too limited to authenticate the object or identify the mark with confidence. The mark appears hand-applied, but attribution is not possible from this view alone.

Provenance

Unknown. The mark may indicate a studio, factory, or individual decorator, but there is not enough context to identify provenance from this image alone.

Historical Significance

If the mark belongs to a recognized ceramic manufacturer or artist, it could have significance for identifying a particular workshop, region, or period. As shown, the mark itself is not enough to establish historical importance.
