Subject:Large Chinese Vase
Posted By: Danny Ross Sat, Jun 09, 2007 IP: 65.95.120.168
Hello all,
I've purchased a rather large vase with the mark shown below. The piece is approximately 14" high, and almost 12" in diameter. Any input on the mark or type of ware this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Danny

This style of decoration is known as Rose Medallion. It became very popular from the 19th century onwards and have been produced since then. This jar is a newer piece maybe around the 1960's - 1980's.

The signature says "dragon year" which, if Pyro's dates are correct would mean 1964, 1976 or 1988. You choose!
