Featured Yongzheng Emperor? Unusual Ceramic Urn

Upfront; my apology if I have shown this here previously...I cannot recall doing so, but such is my memory that I may very well have.

This is 10" high, the mouth is ~5 1/2" outside diameter, the foot rim is ~6 3/8" outside; the black chop-mark is ~1 1/4 square. Weight is ~8 lb 13 oz. The interior is free of glaze, the clay is bone-white; the glaze color is best shown in pics 5-10.
At one time, perhaps 8-10 years ago, it was examined by someone else's 'expert', who kept it for several days. He concluded it was a fake, but offered nothing conclusive to support that opinion. The crazing wasn't mentioned in his oral opinion, an' I wonder about that, as it seems to be an important indicator in older ceramic glazing. He did roughly translate the chop-mark; the Yongzheng Emperor was the 4th of the Qing Dynasty, reigning from 1722 to 1735. I, of course, cannot verify that any of those details are accurate. I was disappointed by his conclusion, packed it away an' forgot about it. Now I'm hoping for superior wisdom among some of you to re-evaluate this urn an' its mark. As you view the pics, your sharp eyes will find several bits of damage in the relief, pieces missing etc. I haven't cleaned this urn, an' cannot see any difference in the color or appearance of the raw material at those blemishes. More specific pics on your demand...an' Thanks for lookin'!

 

I can only find 3 of the 4 marks.....

 

Ahh...three outta four ain't bad...Thanks!

 

I'm put off by the crazing because it looks forced. It is a remarkable thing. My guess would be that it's a reproduction of a museum piece. Not all that stuff is online. I don't know how you could verify short of a hands-on examination by an expert. I hope it's original. What a find! How did you come by it?

 

for sure it's a Stunner !!!!

 

It was in a junque/antique store here (North Olympic Peninsula) with three other items that had just arrived; on consignment by an older fellow who was...like the store owner...oblivious to the range of quality/value between it an' the other pieces, which were late 20thC Asian junk...all at $20 each. This was in the mid to late '90s. I jumped on it an' never looked back.
Thanks, MOS...I hope it can be properly identified either way, an' I just may look into a professional evaluation, probably in Seattle, but maybe Portland...one of these fine days.

A Chinese monochrome white Nanking vase with landscape relief design, 19th C.

 

makes total sense, the mark and crazing is screaming nanking. unlike any piece of nanking i've ever seen, but the base says it all

 

Ditto. The white crackled glaze is very Nanking, but I only know the plain vases, not with these appliqués of landscapes.

 

Thank you both! Nanking Vase is a new one on me, of course. I'll dig into that later this morning...an' report!

 

Seems the same mold to me w/ the exception that Whit's IMHO seems much more finely cast & glaze more nuanced.
Here's a somewhat similar Nanking vase-but in famille verte glaze.

Is the mark an 'honorific'? I don't feel comfortable with the supposed reference to an 18th C Emperor on what is apparently a 19th C artifact. I would be grateful for some clarification about the true age of this vase, an' the straight-up translation of the 4 characters on its base.

 

From google lens/AI: The image shows a four-character mark, which reads "雍正年造" (Yongzheng nian zao), meaning "Made in the Yongzheng reign." This type of mark is commonly found on Chinese porcelain from the Yongzheng period (1723-1735) of the Qing dynasty.

I should think an honorific. Likely 19th c as in AJ's post. But a great piece. Fake? Nah.

 

Thank you very much! You've given me an excellent base for confidence...I'm most grateful!
