Subject:Qianlong mark & period? Mille Fleurs Vase
Posted By: lechineur Tue, Apr 12, 2011 IP: 68.4.180.224
I could not resist purchasing this mille fleurs vase, even with a hairline crack. It has a handpainted red 4 character Qianlong mark. Wanted to know if it is of the period or later copy and if so, when. Any expert opionions are requested. Thanks.

In addition to other comments regarding when made, is not a copy of anything made during Qianlong reign.

Good luck,
Cal

In my opinion, your vase was made around 1900 or later.

Best regards,

Hi.

I would put it a bit later than Bill probably more towards the 1920's.

I also suspect that the rim may have been reduced judging by the way the flower pattern ends so abruptly?

Gary,
