Hello everybody,

any thoughts on this nice piece?
It is a chinese Famille Rose hexagonal Vase, moulded with "Precious Objects" or "Hundred Antiques" design. It is ca 23 inch/60 cm high, ca 5-6 kg weight.

My guess is that it was made in the 19th century - or could it be even older?
What does the inscription mean? - unfortunatly I couldn`t find it in Davidsons Book on Chinese Marks...may be a shop hall mark or of the artist?

Any hints and insights are apreciated.

Greetings from Germany,
Elke

Seemigly the inscription was done by a person who did not know how to write Chinese characters properly.
Often happens in SE-Asian countries, like Vietnam etc.

I read the inscription (From left to right)
中国呈品届　-　Occasional Chinese present article

With regards,

Dear I.Nagy,
may I apologize for my late response - I overlooked this message, pardon me!
Thank you very much for the translation. So what do you think about the age - could it be 19th or early 20th ct.?
Any other opions?
Thanks in advance, dear interested folks.
Greetings, Elke
