Alvin, is there a way to tell if the markings were consistent or not? I see, on all of them, either very simple markings to the more complex formal Chinese text (e.g. more brush-strokes). Does that help in denoting recent/old manufacture? I was thinking back to your list of criteria for distinguishing the two.
