Subject:identify the mark of this vase.

In first thought it should be Mr Kung, Hong Kong dated 1960-1970, but if you look closer to the mark, the left upper part has an aditional line on the right lower side. This is nog Mr Kung, from who is it and when is it made.
Thanks and greetings from Holland.

Hallo Charles,

The mark just reads "Qianlong nian zhi". These kind of marks (4 characters Qianlong in a single square) were used around 1960 by the Wa Lee company in Hong Kong.

Regards / Groeten,

Arjan

it's trying to be a Qianlong era mark, but was made much more recently. the extra stroke is an error.

Mark read from top right to bottom left, Qianlong nien zhi, or Qianlong reign made (reign of Qing dynasty).

Is apocryphal mark, your vase made 20th century in variety of pattern called Rose Medallion (are pattern variations called Rose Canton and Rose Mandarin) by Westerners. Made in vast numbers for export, mostly tableware sold by department stores USA.

My guess your vase from last quarter 20th century.

Good luck,
Cal
