large Meiping vase with dragons

[connoisseurbear]

One thing that I am considering is the blue for this vase, the typical character of blue color during Jiajing or Wanli period should be much intense (more like purplish blue), maybe put it under fluorescent light and see again?

Hi Connoissseurbear, thanks so much for your comment, do you mean a black light or just a regular fluorescent light, under a fluorescent light it dose have a purplish blue look to it, here is a couple of pictures under a fluorescent light, I would like to point out that the top glaze that was painted over the blue is so think it distorts the real blue color, that is why I took a photo of the mark because it seems like the top glaze is thiner in that area.
