Message Hi Caroline Anne, The vase is intriguing but doesn't look very Chinese to me. It rather resembles 19th century and earlier European chinoiserie or perhaps contemporary copies of it. The colors are reminiscent of 19th century French Bayeux porcelain (see an example at link). The six-character mark of "Made during the Great Qing Jiaqing Reign" (1796-1820) has been rendered well enough to look okay from a distance but gets less plausible up close. Smudges at the edge suggest it might have been applied using a transfer or decal. The guy on the lid seems only to be filling in for the foo dog I'd usually expect to find there. Worcester and some of the Staffordshire kilns made similar vases in past centuries too, but I'm unsure about how they (and the Bayeux kilns for that fact) marked such production. In addition to modern European producers, Japanese makers and some Chinese factories are currently capable of producing a product like this. Maybe someone else has actually run across one of these and has a better fix on the period. Regards, Bill H. Link :Bayeux Post a Response |
