<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 10264, member: 118&quot;]Is the mark stamped or hand drawn? There are antique Chinese pieces with stamped marks but Jurentang are rumored to have made pieces for the Imperial court and other higher officials so I would expect a hand written mark.</p><p>I think the enamels should be more pale, kind of more relaxing, not that bright. Freely painted not stiffed.&nbsp; The drawing is fine but there are millions of skillful people in China that can do that.</p><p>Try to find as many examples as you can online and start to compare all the details - faces, the way the clothes are drawn, the color of the enamels etc. I would try with only the big auction houses because small dealers are very often misrepresenting. The base is also important but they not always show pictures of it.</p><p>Hope the vase&nbsp; to be the real deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
