Subject:What is this? Worthless or not?
Posted By: Pelle Sun, Mar 16, 2014 IP: 78.70.242.207 I would appreciate any information about this vase I got from my late grandmother. Is there something interesting in the text? It must be poesy? The stamp? And the motive? I understand its chinese, nothing more.

Posted By: rat Tue, Mar 18, 2014 this is weird. seems to be recent Chinese, no commercial value, the top line of the inscription left to right reads Jin Ping Mei, the title of a famous Ming erotic novel, the other characters all rather nastily distorted for some reason. Perhaps the scene depicted is a character from the novel. I think the base is an apocryphal Qianlong mark.
