Chinese Floor Vase

Hey everyone, I have a chinese floor vase and was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of the manufacturer/age from the inscription on the base? I have no idea where to begin other than taking it somewhere to get valued. Any help would be appreciated! 50p or £50 I would love to know haha....height is roughly 4 foot.

 

Welcome to the forum Birty.
Your vase is pretty recent. The mark refers to an earlier period. That doesn't mean it is a fake, 'old' marks are often put on porcelain as a tribute to a great age in Chinese culture.
When you post pictures, could you please click on full image so everyone can see them?

 

Thanks for your reply! I picked it up for cheap a few years ago so have just got round to seeing how much I could possibly sell it for as it’s taking up a bit of space in the living room haha.

 

It certainly is a big one. You could still make a profit on what you spent, it depends on how the market is in your area for big Chinese vases.

 

How would I even describe it? Is there an accurate description of the marking and/or age?

 

It is late Canton style with gilding. The scene is of a high-ranking official, maybe a general, having tea. The scene is surrounded by auspicious symbols.
The accurate description of the age is late 20th century. The mark is often called an apocryphal mark, which in this case means not authentic. I would leave it out, or call it 'of a later date'.

 

Great, thanks for your help. I will keep you updated!
