Featured Tall Chinese Vase

So, I keep buying things. This vase is 17 1/2" tall and is marked. Not sure which era the mark is from.

 

very nice indeed

 

Thanks Charlie!

 

this seems to have the same mark, unsure if the period is the same though, don't think they know much either

Thanks! Don't know how you found that.

 

yeah, i try to concentrate on one little area like the 2 Ls on top right, if i concentrate on the whole thing my mind can't deal

 

Oh he's a clever one, he is!

 

That's stunning.

 

So I can assume this is real and not a fake?

 

Yeah. Can tell by the depth of the decor. That deep blue. All looks hand done. As for marks it gets tricky because a lot of marks are a tribute to previous eras out of respect. Where did you find it?

 

Right lovely...Thanks!

 

wish i could see it in person, but i'm seeing good signs thats it got decent age, with the pitting on the base and iron spots, the rim looks genuinely aged as well

if i had to wager i'd say late 19thC

 

Google says

The image shows a maker's mark on the base of a piece of Chinese blue and white porcelain, specifically a teapot from the Qianlong period (1736-1795). The mark reads "Qianlong Nian Zhi" (乾隆年製), which translates to "Made during the Qianlong reign".

 

Chinoiserie, found it at a thrift shop this afternoon.

 

Wow well done.

 

It’s interesting that the character on their banner is Cao (曹)(yes I know one bit missing but they’re the same) , surname of the ruler of Wei Kingdom… so this could be a Three Kingdoms motif?

 

Way beyond my comprehension...

 

Three Kingdoms is a period roughly around AD 200 in China. I just want to point out since this motif is rarely seen, but I might be wrong

 

I felt that statement in my bones. Like you've just entered Antiquers Anonymous.
