Re: Re: A 'famille verte' vase made during the Tongzhi reign

Luciano, I should add that there's no reason to believe your vase is a "fake" of anything, because it bears no great resemblance to any true antique that preceded it and is valued purely for its worth as a decoration. In fact, virtually everything about your vase can be taken simply as part of its decoration, including the Tongzhi stamp on the base. Gotheborg.com shows a range of Macao ornamental ware, some with the same kind of Tongzhi mark alongside the modern triangular factory marking. Gotheborg dates such items to the second half of the 20th century.

Good luck,

Bill H.
