Posted By: billy Wed, Jan 28, 2015 A 19th century wedding vase, Thank You. I have it listed on ebay as a ginger jar with red seal marks. Is it a valuable piece or not ? |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Jan 31, 2015 Compared to the examples shown by Arjan, with their crisp decoration, there's a great amount of "flow" to the blue in the main pattern, as well as an anomaly in the geometric diaper at the shoulder. These issues suggest your jar may be transfer-decorated, thus are no older than the early 20th century or possibly made much later. Modern porcelain-painting studios are not beyond faking the red inspection marks to suggest greater than actual age in their products. |
