Hi, I have a vase that was brought across the Pacific by my great aunt's family when they came to the US in 1906. They were English missionaries, and this was one of several that they obtained while on mission in China. I don't know anything more about it, really, except that the damaged top was damaged in the 19-teens or so by great aunt's mother, and the pieces were wrapped in newspaper and laid inside. My mom was given this one in about 1990, and now I just want to know more about it. One is a shaving cream-enhanced maker's mark, then one of each side. You can see a poor repair of the top executed by my mom, who said it could be easily reversed and repaired properly if it turned out to be important.

I'm interested in knowing just how old it might be, where it came from, etc. I tried to contact the local art museum's asian art folks, but haven't gotten a return call or email, and remembered that I'd posted here before.
