Subject:ming flagon?
Posted By: nicholas hunter Thu, Jun 20, 2013 IP: 96.254.194.131
today I purchased a beautiful flagon imported from china. I found a marking at the bottom that translates to yung-lo yongle (a period of time in the ming dynasty). I was super excited when I found out that it could be one of the rare ming vases. but I need to be sure that it is a real authentic vase to sell it. can you please identify if it is a fake or a real ming vase? thank you!

It's not a real Ming vase, but it's not a fake either, because it's clear from the base that the maker was not trying to deceive. call it an decorative imitation perhaps.
