Subject:A Famille-Rose 'Hundred Butterflies' Bottle Vase - Guangxu mark and possibly of the period
Posted By: Charles Sun, Jun 29, 2014 IP: 108.162.152.125
Can someone please help me identify if this vase is a real Guangxu marked vase of the period? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Charles,
Unfortunately your vase has the powdery foot rim that is associated with modern reproductions. Your photo has flared which has not helped.
I have attached photos of two hundred butterfly vases that were in my collection.
Are you able to post the weight of your vase, in grams.
Regards
Tony

Thanks for the help Tony! Hopefully these images have better lighting. Sorry I cannot get a weight for the vase.

The foot rim is not correct for Guangxu, nor are the enamels of the "traffic light" lower border, which are a pastel colour.
Yours is a very good copy. Unfortunarely there are numbers of these good fakes on the market.
Regards
Tony

Thanks for the help Tony. I'm glad I didn't end up bidding on this vase. Cheers!
