    This vase is 6". I think it's hand painted. Vintage? Value? Im new at collecting and not sure what I have here. Any help is appreciated.

    I honestly DON'T know, but this reminds me of some of the "Hand Painted in Macau" pieces that were in specialty shops & import stores in the late 1980's/early 1990's.

    This one is the closest (to what I'm talking about) that I've been able to find in a quick search just now. (Please note that the one pictured is 12" tall, and I think the asking price is beyond ambitious...)

    Hello and welcome to the board.
    Your vase appears to be newer Chinese.
    Value would be purely decorative.

    Hmm SBSVC may be on to something and I may be wrong about China.

    Cluttered, as I recall, Macau is kind-of/sort-of, more-or-less, but-not-quite "part of China"(?) I seem to remember items with both "made in China" AND "hand painted in Macau" labels on them...

    It is, kinda.:D It was once a Portuguese colony near Hongkong, and is now one of those special administrative regions of China, like Hongkong.
    Macau ware is usually made in China proper and decorated in Macau.
    You can see a slight Portuguese influence in this vase.

    I'd say SBSVC found the mother of my small vase. Looks almost identical except for the sides. Maybe this was something from Pier 1 or similar. I'll keep looking! Thanks to all replies.
