Subject:Oriental Vase and box with markings
Posted By: R Zalas Tue, Jun 30, 2015 IP: 69.209.206.197
Hello
We have recently acquired the attached vase and shipping/storage box. Both the vase and the box have markings. Any input as to origin and potential value would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your expertise.

The vase has a mark of "Made at Jingdezhen" (Jingdezhen Zhi - 景德鎮製, and I believe the characters on the box say "Chinese Arts & Crafts" (Zhongguo Gongyi - 中國工藝), the latter referring to a popular store established in Hong Kong in 1959, which also uses the abbreviated name of "Zhongyi" (中藝). The markings on the vase and box would indicate that the vase is unlikely to be much older than the fourth quarter of the 20th century.

Best regards,

Bill H.
