Subject:Identification Help Needed for Vase
Posted By: Dave Prokop Fri, Sep 28, 2007 IP: 198.151.13.10

I received the pictured vase from my late uncle's estate and I know nothing about the period or its value. Does anyone have knowledge of this type of item? There is an old looking sticker on the back that says "Yung Cheng 1723-1735." But other than being an old sticker there are no other identifying markings on the vase. It is in excellent condition with no chips or breaks. It is about 15 inches in height.
Thanks,
Dave P

Congratulations! You have a beautiful vase The dating on the vase is correct. It called gold tracery decoration on a powder blue ground. However I believe the vase is damaged. It looks like it's missing the very top portion of the mouth. Looks like it was grounded away as such vases should have a outward protruding lip. Also it seems the lower sections of both ears are missing. It should be twice as long. Still a nice heirloom piece!

The vase is not damaged in any way. Any idea of its value? Thanks.
