Hi, I also have a mini vase approx 3"H that I think may be jiangxi Jingdezhen (just based on some research I've done) Can anyone confirm this? Also would you know of age? Thanks again

Could have been made one of the Jingdezhen kilns, can not read two right characters but the left ones supposed read 'nien zhi' for "reign made." A nonsense mark. Could also have been made Japan, Hong Kong or Macao or elsewhere for Chinese market.

Age not more than a few years.

Good luck,
Cal

Stylisitcally this is a 20th century (post-1949) vase. Where it was made is a different question, because if I'm right about the age, it should have a standard Jingdezhen factory stamp if made and decorated there. Instead it has an apocryphal Tongzhi reign mark (Tong Zhi Nian Zhi).

Therefore you have multiple choices of where it might have been made and/or decorated, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Indonesia, among others.

Good luck,

Bill H.
