Subject:Identifying small vase
Posted By: Verna Sat, Jul 02, 2016 IP: 71.193.23.2
I have had this little vase for a long time. I believe it was once one of a pair but I only have the one. I was told it was valuable and had been given offers on it years ago by a dealer in San Francisco and from a dealer on an eBay forum. I declined until I could learn more about it. Now several years later here I am preparing to downsize to a much smaller house.

Vase is very fine porcelain and only a few inches tall (don't have exact size at the moment but well under 6 inches). It is translucent and painting is very fine.

Your Chinese vase with apocryphal four-character overglaze mark of "Made during the Qianlong Reign" (Qianlong Nian Zhi) likely dates to the third quarter of the 20th century or later.

Best regards,

I disagree with Bill. This small vase was made during the republic era, most likely the 1910-1920s.

In my opinion, Republic porcelain wares of the teens and twenties should probably have somewhat more sophisticated decoration than what I take to be an average landscape for the period seen here. After the mid-twenties, the trend was pretty much downhill for the Chinese porcelain industry due to the worsening civil war and start of the 2nd Sino-Japanese War in 1937. The uneven looking mark also is similar to one on a vase that gotheborg.com says suggests a date of the 1970's or later.

Best regards,

Bill H.
