Hey.

I would like to ask for some help here if that is alright.

I have a vase. I have studied it and done some research.

It seems to be early Kangxi. I am very aware of the amount of replicas out there but I have found details on it that suggest it is authentic.
Are any here who are interested in giving me their opinion?
If so here is some info along with three pictures. I can post more pictures if needed.

-It is 294mm in height.
-It seems to have the correct blue color.
-It has thin white lair on the bottom.
-The pictures are in pretty good detail(according to my eyes).
-It has handcraft character on surface and in/on bottom.
-It is evenly coated with smooth surface.
-It has small defects here and there (kind of air bubbles in surface from when made). I have seen those on pictures from original vases, specially on the bottom.
-The glassing/surface stops very even and close to the bottom.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
Gunnar

Double rings on the bottom appear to have "hollow-line" making this a late 19th century copy of the Kangxi style.

The characters are not so well drawn, same with the butterflies.

Most collectors would see this as a "replica".
