I own many pieces of famille rose porcelain, Chinese Imari etc, but I have recently acquired this fr lidded vase and can not identify the age or mark. It has a pale turquoise ground which is starting to flake in places where it is very crazed. With the Buddhist symbols I was wondering if it was Chinese made for the Japanese market, or even Japanese. No idea ,any help would be appreciated.

Early 20th c., the Japanese created numerous Chinese style famille rose & verte porcelains.

Some are quite convincing, but the rendering of the people and the watery enamels is usually the tell tale sign.

So, in my opinion, Japanese in Chinese style - early 20th c.

Or could it be a signature ?
