<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pmurphy, post: 140180, member: 2119&quot;]FYI, I decided to get some help with my search and so I paid for an on-line appraisal....I figured they would have to know something about the item in order to put a value on it. </p><p>This is what they came back with: &quot;<span style="color: #0080ff">Mid 17th century, provincial Chinese club-shaped bottle vase</span>.&quot;&nbsp; They also commented on the style: &quot;<span style="color: #0080ff">a perfectly genuine &#039;country&#039; version of metropolitan Transitional porcelains. That base is definitely not a Japanese one.</span>&quot; </p><p>So if what they are saying is true, I right back to not knowing the origin: Japan or China????</p><p><br /></p><p>However shortly after receiving this appraisal I was finally put in touch with a local antique dealer/appraiser who has expressed interest and asked for photos, and a possible meet with the item.&nbsp; We&#039;ll see what she has to say.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
