    Just been given this pair of 60cm vases from my employer. They were bought in Singapore in the 1970's
    I love them.... family say tacky.
    Anyone tell me anything about them.?

    Welcome to our forum!! :happy::happy:

    Obviously these is a large floor vase, but measurements would be a good idea. Also a photo of the whole bottom & the whole piece from a not so close view.

    Just a fake Kangxi reign mark on the bottom.

    Not necessarily; the Chinese used "homage" marks, i.e. marks meant to honor the older manufacturers rather than fake them. The big guys like this one can be worth a fair bit...as long as no one has drilled them for lamps or cracked them with umbrella ferrules.
