Tianqi Chinese vase

Hello everyone! My first post, hope it is fine to post it here

Found this beautiful Chinese vase which is in great condition and quite heavy.

Can't find one like these and not sure if it is real or not. Maybe some of you can identify or help me figure out a value.

Can you guys help me out?

 

Hi Erik!

Welcome to Antiquers...........

So sorry that I can be of no help, but hang on, others will be here to offer some.

 

Double gourd vase ...

 

Thank you guys!

I know it's a double gourd vase, but does it look authentic or any additional info someone who knows this stuff can give? Value?

 

I have been scrolling through Chinese marks and have not been able to find a match for the lower right character - which if it is consistent with the myriad of honorific marks would tell us what reign or period this piece is referring to. The upper right is Da meaning Great.

I suspect this is a late 20th century piece or 21st to the present. It is very nice but not an antique, I'm afraid.

 

If you haven't already seen this Wiki page about the Tianqi emperor, do look at the dates. It is highly unlikely that your lovely vase is that old. I wish for you that it was real.

Found a page about the emperor showing an authentic mark. should be 6 characters, but your item only has 4 - another very important indicator of "not real."

Thanks so much!

At the same time there is this: https://www.chineseantiques.co.uk/ming-reign-marks-tianqi-period/

There is a similar 4 character mark...

 

This is a quality but new piece.
