Re: Need help identifying ancient Chinese vase!

The base mark says 'Made during the Tongzhi Reign' ['Tongzhi Nian Zhi' (1862-74)]. However, this is a modern-era vase, probably made no earlier than the third quarter of the 20th century or thereafter by one of the factories in Hong Kong or Macau, where Chinese porcelain blanks are decorated and refired. Much of the decoration usually consists of transfers with some overpainting by hand.

Best regards,

Bill H.
