Dear George,

     The TERM 'Guyuexuan' has been around since the early 18th C.  It referred to a studio in the Yuanmingyuan (the Summer Palace near Beijing), which produced enamelled wares for the Yongzheng, Qianlong, and possibly Jiaqing Emperors. It has been translated as "Old Moon Pavilion" or "Ancient Moon Pavilion".
The mark was copied by private artisans during the 19th & 20th centuries, and seemingly now, into the 21st.
     
Who is  the 'They' you referred to below?  Roll Eyes Huh  Grin

Best,
Joey

Hi Adrian..

Yes, Guyuexuan has been around for some time. They are still producing modern wares including vases.

Sadly, these are pretty new..
