By refer to Yuan Shikai only meant very wide range of things made during Republic, no "Republic style" that would be *reproduced* or *imitated*. There are frauds - things with marks supposed to be of Republic period. For example there has been some debate about whether there ever was a Yuan Shikai Imperial mark and if so what it was, and if not what pieces were made during his supremacy.

There are reproductions made today, but there is mistaken idea of some that all items made lately would be "reproductions" instead of being their own type of thing, such as recent products Jun kilns, using transmutation glaze formulas including various proportions copper, manganese, iron.

Your flask I think within range of things made during Republic period, with not very good materials and I think perhaps made late 1930s. The color scheme and mix of styles would not be very marketable 1960s or 1980s to present, but 1960s not impossible.

A reproduction of 'fake' type could imitate something believed have big price if mistaken for original, or could be something made in earlier style with no intending to sell as if original. But must be particular type of ware/decoration.

Good luck,
Cal
