Subject:Japanese vase
Posted By: Frank Thorpe Tue, Apr 12, 2016 IP: 70.145.186.56

This 7.25 inch tall vase came with a similar wooden top and stand. I would like to know the interpretation of the characters on the bottom and if the vase originally had a porcelain top, like a ginger jar?

The mark is that of Kangxi (1662 to 1722), a reign in the Qing dynasty on modern porcelain. You are probably correct, the original cover would be porcelain, but I really like the one you have, matching the base.

Hello, this is a Chinese vase. It has a Kangxi mark on the bottom. I believe your jar is from the 19th century.

The mark looks like a roughly written Kangxi reign mark, probably apocryphal.
