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.

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"...
Thanks Steve.

Im guessing early 1800's, maybe earlier.
