(2) See Ming Wilson, Rare Marks on Chinese Porcelain, London, 1998, p. 114,
where the author references a celadon-glazed bowl with this mark, noting
£3,000-5,000 $4,400-7,200 that Jingwei Tang was the studio name of Li Hu, alias Duanren, style name
€3,800-6,300 Zhucun, a native of Cixi, but that it has also “been suggested that porcelains
bearing the Jingwei Tang mark once belonged to the Manchu high oficial
Agedunbu.” Pieces bearing this mark appear to have been made during
the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, as well as the Jiaqing and Daoguang
periods, perhaps indicating that the hall was “in use for several generations.”
