I was told by the collage professor that he was given the piece as a gift from a deligation of Chinese durring trade agreement, which was initialled by President Reagan during his visit to the PRC in April 1984, he said: The Reagan Administration did not seem to be planning to bestow any lavish diplomatic gifts on Li. But the Chinese deligation bestowed lavish gifts at every event hoping the gifts will provide an opportunity to complete the stalled Washington-Beijing agreement on nuclear cooperation. These high-level Chinese trips to the U.S. were a test of the U.S.-PRC relationship. The Collage Professor felt our politicians were very rude and threatening to the 76-year-old President Li Xiannian of the People's Republic of China in the 1980's; this caused an "independent" foreign policy and not aligning with either superpower. (USSR) The 76-year-old President Li Xiannian began pursuing China's own international agenda. Many elements of this agenda are contrary to U.S. interests.
The marked vase comes from the deligation as one of many gifts according to the collage teacher; which makes it newer. July 1985.
