Subject:Is this Qianlong Real or Fake?
Posted By: Marvin Thu, Sep 25, 2014 IP: 108.59.219.88 I picked up these two 3 foot tall vases from who I know to be a legimate person. They use to reside in James Brown's (the singer)house. Any help would be appreciated. |

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Sep 26, 2014 The floor vases are ornamental products of the late 20th century, probably produced at a painting factory in Macao or Hong Kong. The Qianlong mark is just part of the decoration. On the other hand, the vases more than likely were labeled as to point of origin when they left the factory, and there's no control on what claims an unscrupulous retailer might make about their age and authenticity after removing the labels. |

Posted By: adam Fri, Sep 26, 2014 Fake....Well, its not actually intended to deceive anyone with a shred of knowledge of 18th century porcelain. Just an apocryphal mark to denote "in the style of" or "Respect to prior dynastys"...... |

Posted By: rat Fri, Sep 26, 2014 These were new when James Brown ? bought them, no connection to Qianlong-era porcelain other than the mark that's been stamped on the base. |

Posted By: Gman Sun, Sep 28, 2014 In the antique shop where I worked in the 1970s and 1980s, we began selling these reproductions around 1980. As regards the pairs of temple jars we sold, the pair above would have been the small size, and we had a larger pair which were about 5 feet tall without their bases. |
