Featured Chinese? Porcelain Vase

Hello, I just got this 14” tall blue and white porcelain vase from an estate sale, and I was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar? I’m not too familiar with Asian porcelain but I love this piece

 

very well made n all...........but i'm not seeing age with it mate

 

the base rim looks stained as opposed to having real age

 

very sweet looking vase...

 

I think this shape is usually referred to as 'garlic' or 'garlic head' shape. Nice piece. I would guess Chinese but wouldn't be 100% sure.

 

I'm not sure what the tag on the bottom says, but I bet that would be a clue. Wish I could help. but I like the vase a lot. Hope it's a homerun for you!

 

Is the base (apart from the Foot ring) glazed ?

 

Sweet. My guess is Chinese and 20th c somewhere. The foot rim doesn't look deliberately aged to me -- maybe kiln dirt.

 

well that would depend on when it was made.....if as you say (the last 120 years), its either been added to make it look older because its not, or been used alot in a short time frame

A full base shot might help

 

looks like theres an iron spot ( or an attempt at one ) on the foot rim as well, so a close look would help

 

As soon as I pick it up tomorrow I’ll post a pic

 

cool...i'm not demeaning it either, tis a good shape, size and well made...i just don't see real age with it

(and lets face it......thats what we all really want to know with something like this)

 

It is a Chinese style garlic neck vase. Beautiful piece of porcelain. I’d bet a sharp stick in the eye that it’s brand spankin new off a boat from China. Possible it’s is as old as the 1990’s but I’ll be damned if it’s an even a smidge older than that. Much more likely less than five years old in my opinion. It would be worth many thousands, probably tens of thousands if it were a proper antique. Pretty as a picture though. Most people would be happy to look at it everyday. Just because it’s a repro (imo) doesn’t mean it didn’t take great skill to make and isn’t worth owning.
