Subject:Dayazhai Porcelain Vases
Posted By: John Fri, Sep 14, 2018 IP: 155.93.134.37

Can you please let me have your views as to whether these vases are from the Guangxu or Republic Period?

Thank you

I believe the original 1894 pattern had better formed, more realistic wisteria clusters and seals with greater definition, as seen in the first image here, from a Weishaupt collection catalog. The yellow ruyi scepter-head diaper also is something I've seen on Republic-era porcelains with other decoration. The Dayazhai-marked bowls shown here were sold by a reputable dealer with simply a 20th century dating.

So in sum, I believe these vases are at least Republic-period, but possibly a bit later, perhaps 1950s.

Best regards,

Bill H.
