Hello All,

I would like to ask the experts a question about a vase i have in the family for over some years now.
I would like to know if its fake or real old and what its potential value will be.

I really hope that someone could help me.

Thank you,

Late 19th, early 2oth century garniture jar .Usually comes in pairs. worth USD$100.

Circa 1900's Chinese vase with Kangxi mark on the base.

levd,

The mark 4 characters on bottom read, top to bottom right to left 'Kangxi reign made', for Kangxi reign (1662-1722) Qing dynasty. This pretty common mark on much later products. Characters on yours not well drawn.

Extreme version 'baluster' vase form of yours is shape common made for decoration 20th century. I think yours made after 1920s, possibly Japan, possibly much later.

Enjoy as decoration, painting not badly done.

Good luck,
Cal

A 4 character Kangxi mark was used during the Guangxu Period and into the early years of the
Republican Period.
