Concession may be premature.

When digging a bit deeper into the subject, one slip-decorated baluster vase surfaced that bears more than a passing resemblance to this one, vertical collar and all. It was sold by Christie a couple of years ago in London. Its base bears a Qianlong mark that was judged to be of the late part of that period.

Of note, the glaze color looks lighter than the apparent tone of this one, and the ears are formed somewhat differently. In my opinion, the marks compare well, at least to the extent that they can be seen. The Christie sale link is included below.

The review still seems to indicate that most slip-decorated Chinese porcelain in this style are 19th century or later. However, some of the slip-painted celadons I came across seem clearly to be on the forms of chinese vases, including those of baluster and gu shape, that were popular from the Daoguang period onward and served as platforms for such mass-produced wares as rose medallion.

And of course I suppose an auction house error can't be ruled out, but I'm sure they have a better reference library than I do.

Hopefully other views on this finding will be forthcoming.

Tini, don't give up the slip! :)

Best regards,
